Razors Edge ★ Posted March 15 Share #3 Posted March 15 What calendar was that on? My guess is that doesn't line up with today anymore. Maybe sometime in mid to late June? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe sometime in mid to late June? Don't guess. Know Caesar launched ambitious programs of reform within the empire. The most lasting of these was his establishment of the Julian calendar, which, with the exception of a slight modification and adjustment in the 16th century, remains in use today.

maddmaxx ★ Posted March 15 Author Share #5 Posted March 15 Sosigenes had overestimated the length of the year by 11 minutes 14 seconds, and by the mid-1500s the cumulative effect of this error had shifted the dates of the seasons by about 10 days from Caesar’s time. Pope Gregory XIII’s reform (see Gregorian calendar), proclaimed in 1582, restored the calendar to the seasonal dates of 325 CE, an adjustment of 10 days.
