  • The Evolution of the Roman Calendar Dwayne Meisner, University of Regina
    The Evolution of the Roman Calendar Dwayne Meisner, University of Regina Abstract The Roman calendar was first developed as a lunar | 290 calendar, so it was difficult for the Romans to reconcile this with the natural solar year. In 45 BC, Julius Caesar reformed the calendar, creating a solar year of 365 days with leap years every four years. This article explains the process by which the Roman calendar evolved and argues that the reason February has 28 days is that Caesar did not want to interfere with religious festivals that occurred in February. Beginning as a lunar calendar, the Romans developed a lunisolar system that tried to reconcile lunar months with the solar year, with the unfortunate result that the calendar was often inaccurate by up to four months. Caesar fixed this by changing the lengths of most months, but made no change to February because of the tradition of intercalation, which the article explains, and because of festivals that were celebrated in February that were connected to the Roman New Year, which had originally been on March 1. Introduction The reason why February has 28 days in the modern calendar is that Caesar did not want to interfere with festivals that honored the dead, some of which were Past Imperfect 15 (2009) | © | ISSN 1711-053X | eISSN 1718-4487 connected to the position of the Roman New Year. In the earliest calendars of the Roman Republic, the year began on March 1, because the consuls, after whom the year was named, began their years in office on the Ides of March.

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

    Chronology Chart 1-6 Roman Calendar Explanation At the time of Christ, the Roman calendar and dating system were used throughout the Roman Empire. The calendar derived from the old lunar calendar of the Etruscans, which was designed to keep record of times for religious observances and festivals, and which retained as principal days of the month the kalends (first), nones (fifth or seventh), and ides (thirteenth or fifteenth), based originally on the phases of the moon. The months had been restructured by the Romans into a solar calendar of twelve months with several intercalary days at the end of February. March was the first Roman month, making September the seventh, October the eighth, etc. These names derive from the Latin words for seven (septem), eight (octo), and so on. The Roman calendar was reformed by Julius Caesar in 45 B.C., which version operated in New Testament times and still forms the basis of our own modern calendar today. Roman years were numbered ab urbe condita, “from the founding of the city.” The year we call 753 B.C. was the Roman year 1, the year that Rome is believed to have been established. References John F.

  • Some Background to the Roman Calendar in General Use Today
    July 1996 Frank W. Nelte SOME BACKGROUND TO THE ROMAN CALENDAR IN GENERAL USE TODAY Some background to our modern Roman calendar may be helpful. Here is a brief account of how our calendar came about. 1) According to legend, Rome was founded on April 21, 753 B.C. by Romulus and Remus. Romulus (supposedly) made the year to consist of 304 days, divided into 10 months of nearly equal length. Starting with the first month, they were: Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Junius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November and December. (Much later Quintilis was changed to Julius and Sextilis was changed to Augustus.) 2) The next king of Rome after Romulus, Numa Pompilius, added 2 months to the year. He added Januarius at the beginning of the year and Februarius to the end of the year. He made his 12 months to be lunar, consisting of alternately 30 days and 29 days. This made the year 354 days long, but in deference to the popular superstition that uneven numbers were more lucky, he added 1 more day. Thus his year was 355 days long. 3) This was more than 10 days shorter than the true solar year. Therefore Numa (who knew the year was 365,25 days long) ordered that for every 8 years, 90 days should be intercalated as follows: - a month of 22 days was intercalated in every 2nd and 6th year; - a month of 23 days was intercalated in every 4th and 8th year. 4) These intercalations were to be made between February 23rd and February 24th (very confusing), thereby dividing February into two portions every second year.

  • History of the Calendar
    History of the Calendar The premise of the earliest Roman calendar is the meshing of a thirty-day lunar cycle with an eight-day market week (the interval required for the processing of goat’s cheese). Four months of thirty days each was the soonest these two units can be integrated. 120 days also roughly corresponds with the gestation period of a pig. The first month of the Roman year was March, followed by April, May, and June. March is named after the god of war, Mars. April is derived from the word aper, a boar. May is probably related to an old word for a sow, and June is named after the queen of the gods, Juno. There is evidence to suggest that March and June were originally named Caprotinus and Fabarius, words also related to the raising of pigs. According to tradition, around 738 B.C. Romulus, the legendary founder of Rome, added six months to the calendar. He unimaginatively named them the fifth through tenth months. An additional day was added to March, May, July, and October to maintain the eight-day market week –304 days. Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, added January (29 days) and February (28 days), and he took away one day each from the thirty-day months – 355 days. This calendar does not maintain the eight-day market week, but it does roughly coincide with twelve cycles of the moon, a lunar year. Initially intercalary days were added at the end of February to keep the calendar in line with the eight-day market week; later an intercalary month (Mercedonius) was added in alternate years to bring the lunar year into accord with the solar year and the changes in the seasons.

  • 75 AD ROMULUS Legendary, 8Th Century B.C. Plutarch Translated by John Dryden
    75 AD ROMULUS Legendary, 8th Century B.C. Plutarch translated by John Dryden Plutarch (46-120) - Greek biographer, historian, and philosopher, sometimes known as the encyclopaedist of antiquity. He is most renowned for his series of character studies, arranged mostly in pairs, known as “Plutarch’s Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans” or “Parallel Lives.” Romulus (75 AD) - A study of the life of Romulus, the founder of Rome. ROMULUS From whom, and for what reason, the city of Rome, a name so great in glory, and famous in the mouths of all men, was so first called, authors do not agree. Some are of opinion that the Pelasgians, wandering over the greater part of the habitable world, and subduing numerous nations, fixed themselves here, and, from their own great strength in war, called the city Rome. Others, that at the taking of Troy, some few that escaped and met with shipping, put to sea, and driven by winds, were carried upon the coasts of Tuscany, and came to anchor off the mouth of the river Tiber, where their women, out of heart and weary with the sea, on its being proposed by one of the highest birth and best understanding amongst them, whose name was Roma, burnt the ships. With which act the men at first were angry, but afterwards, of necessity, seating themselves near Palatium, where things in a short while succeeded far better than they could hope, in that they found the country very good, and the people courteous, they not only did the lady Roma other honours, but added also this, of calling after her name the city which she had been the occasion of their founding.

  • About Calendars, Calendar Changes and a Tiny Bit of Astronomy
    About calendars, calendar changes and a tiny bit of Astronomy. Joana Soldado Magraner February 5, 2015 Joana Soldado Magraner About calendars, calendar changes and a tiny bit of Astronomy. Introduction. The tiny bit of Astronomy. Tropical (solar) year: time that the Sun takes to return to the same position in the cycle of seasons, as seen from Earth. Typically from vernal equinox to vernal equinox. About 20 minutes shorter than the time it takes Earth to complete one full orbit around the Sun as measured with respect to the fixed stars (the sidereal year). The approximation of 365.25 days for the tropical year: known for a long time but not used directly, since ancient calendars were not solar (except Egyptian and Iranian) Joana Soldado Magraner About calendars, calendar changes and a tiny bit of Astronomy. The Julian calendar. A little bit of history Introduced by Julius Caesar in 46 BC. It was a reform of the Roman calendar. The ordinary year in the previous Roman calendar consisted of 12 months, for a total of 355 days. In addition, a 27-day intercalary month, the Mensis Intercalaris, was sometimes inserted between February and March, resulting in an intercalary year of 377-378 days. With some refinements, this system averages the length of the year to 365.25 days. However... The last years of the pre-Julian calendar were later known as "years of confusion". Joana Soldado Magraner About calendars, calendar changes and a tiny bit of Astronomy. The Julian calendar. A little bit of history Caesar's reform was intended to solve this problem permanently, by creating a calendar that remained aligned to the sun without any human intervention.

  • The Dating Game: Time-Keeping in the Middle Ages
    The Dating Game: Time-keeping in the Middle Ages Mistress Alheydis von Körckhingen, Delftwood Originally presented at Delftwood A&S, Thursday, June 22, 2006 Last updated: November 10, 2010 Event:_______________________________ Date:________________________________ Available online at: http://www.manor.frodelius.com/Classes/TheDatingGame.pdf The Dating Game: Time-Keeping in the Middle Ages page 1 Mistress Alheydis von Körckhingen The Names of the Days of the Week Although the Romans and others named the days in a rotating cycle of seven names, they did not acknowledge a civic week as we do. Market days occurred (generally) every eight days, and marked the most important civic cycle of the time. The fact that the “day” on which the market occurred shifted was of little bother to them, just as today we are not flustered by the fact that Christmas and Halloween shift by one of two days each year. The seven-day week, with Sunday as a holy day, was a product of Emperor Constantine’s edict of 321, which established Sunday as the Christian Sabbath. Some say Constantine’s policy was driven by his dual adherence to Christianity and sun-worship. A god by any other name… Our names for the days of the week derive from the seven planets known in antiquity, and the corresponding deities associated with them: Planet Roman Roman Latin Medieval Latin Churc h Use Anglo -Saxon English Planet-god Day-names Day-names Day-names Planet-God Day-names Sun Sol Dies solis Dies dominica prima feria Sun Sunday Moon Luna Dies lunae Dies lune secunda feria Moon Monday Mars Mars Dies martis Dies martis tercia Tiw Tue sday Mercury Mercurius Dies mercurii Dies mercurii quarta feria Woden Wednesday Jupiter Jupiter Dies iovis Dies jovis quinta feria Thor Thursday Venus Venus Dies veneris Dies veneris sexta feria Freya Friday Saturn Saturnus Dies saturni Dies sabbati sa bbatum Saturn Saturday Order Up!
