Appointment in Philippi?

A precursor to having an "appointment in Samarra"?


....Plutarch (46–120 c.e.) mentions ghosts with particular frequency: in Brutus, Brutus confronts his "evil spirit," who says to him: "You shall see me at Philippi" (36.3–4)


-- From Joshi's essay "The Supernatural in Greek and Latin Literature."
