Coligny Calendar

The age old Celtic tradition, beliefs, rituals and conventions finds a profound utterance in the typical structure of the Coligny calendar. The Gaulish Coligny calendar was first found in Coligny, France in the year 1897 and is one of the archaic calendars structured on the lunisolar system. The Coligny calendar is a series of stone tablets dating to the first century BC.

Coligny calendar is typically the representation of the Celtic or the Gaelic year although the Roman influence on the calendar is quite undeniable. The calendar is typically structured using the Roman numeric and using the Gaulish month names. The Celtic year typically begins in November so quite ideally the Coligny calendar assigns the month of November as the beginning of a year.

The months of the Coligny calendar are typically lunar as an attribute of the typical lunisolar trait of the calendar where the common lunar year of the calendar contained 354 or 355 days. In the Coligny calendar the months are ideally divided into two halves and the first half of the Celtic month has always 15days whilst the second half counts either 14 or 15 days on alternate months. Coligny calendar employs a classical statistical arrangement to keep a usual 12 month calendar in synchronization with the moon whilst counting an extra month every 2 years in a typical 25-year cycle.
