The Ides of June

I'm curious--why is it we speak only of the ides of March and not of other months?

Did Shakespeare's "Beware the ides of March" forever link "ides" and "March" to the exclusion of other months?

This is my research question for the next few days. Anyone out there know the answer or want to guess?
