Roman Calendar

Roman calendar is basically the Pre Julian calendar that was followed throughout Rome as an authentic account of date and time during the ancient era. Roman calendar, in order to match with the changing time has changed its form a number of times between the historical era of the foundation of Rome and the fall of the Roman Empire. The history of the Roman calendar dates back to the early era when Romulus, the founder of Rome invented the lunar calendar in 753BC.

That has been regarded as the early form of the Roman calendar and was typically based on the Greek Lunar calendar.



Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Iunius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November and December were the ten months that pre dominated the early Roman calendar. However, with the first significant reform of this ancient calendar by Numa Pompilius who was the second of the traditional King of Rome, Roman calendar gained a marked diction. The 30 days months was then typically reduced to 29 days which eventually resulted in bringing down the calendar length up to 355 days.

The Roman calendar typically used a system of months, and special days in each month. While some calendars were ideally carved in stone, wood or marble many of the calendars were painted on walls for an aesthetic purpose.

In the early Roman calendar the months usually had three primary makers which are -- the Kalends, the Nones and the Ides. The Kalends were always the first day of the month, the Nones were usually the 5th but sometimes the 7th, and the Ides were the 15th but sometimes the 13th day of the month. All the other days were then adjusted in the next month.
