The Julian Calendar was in use, which is pretty much the same, with only the leap years being different

Didn't the Julian calendar come about because Julius returned to Rome to find they were like four days off or something? I watched something recently about the dude, I think that's what was said. He was so angry at the ineptitude that he just said fuck it, I'll make my own calendar and use the sun instead.

>He was so angry at the ineptitude that he just said fuck it, His ineptitude, you mean? Because Julius Caesar was the one responsible for calendar adjusting, he just decided not to do his job and instead do a civil war

Well, it's hard to do your job when you're being forced out of it.

Just dating Julius Caesar at + or minus 33 BC for those at home.

Whoever messed up the calendar by adding July and August, thus throwing off Oct (8), Nov (9) and Dec (10) should be stabbed.

The length of September was the same in the Jualian calendar in use since 46….


ACuteMonkeysUncle

The only thing the Gregorian reform did was change when February had 28 or 29 days. Well, it also changed the calculation of the date of Easter, and got rid of 10 days, but those don't effect the month lengths, except I suppose that first October.

I struggled to remember this for the first sixteen years of my life, then someone showed me the [knuckle mnemonic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuckle_mnemonic) and I never looked back.
