The Ancient Calendar Fixer

At the time of Julius Caesar, the calendar was nothing but a confused mess. At that time the calendar was based on an unreliable lunar system. Due to some superstitious beliefs, even number was not included in the calendar which makes it worse.

So Julius Caesar created a new calendar for Romans. He used the Egyptian system of chronological timekeeping. This new Julian calendar was having 365.25 days. Today’s calendar is a modified form of the Julian calendar. 

Like today’s calendar, the Julian calendar also has 31 and 30 days in alternating months. He set February at 29 days and adding an extra day every four years. It was a more realistic and easy calendar that Julius Caesar created.
