Discovery of an ancient Roman calendar at Anzio
A plaster calendar from the Roman Campagna near Anzio dates to 163 B C to 48 B C and predates Julius Caesar. It describes a solar year of 365 days with a leap like intercalary month every alternate year, requiring priestly correction and later reform by Julius Caesar and the astronomer Sosigenes to align with the solar year. The manuscript, issued by the Naval Academy, outlines the 12 months and a 27 day intercalary period, and notes the 44 1 0 decree as the year of conflux introducing the new sun.
