OLD ROMAN CALENDAR: JULIAN TO GREGORIAN

roman calendar


                                                                     Via: romae-vitam

The word calendar comes from the Latin word kalendae.

The first Roman calendar was a lunar calendar (based on the Greek lunar calendars where months begin and end when new moons occur, 29.5 days). 
It had 304 days and  10 months starting from March and ending with December.

The second king of Rome, Numa Pompilius ( 715–673 B.C.), introduced the months of Ianuarius (January) and Februarius (February).
