The Roman Calendar King Romulus. The original Roman calendar was said to be invented by Romulus, the first king of Rome, at around 753 BCE (Before Common Era). The calendar started the year in March (Martius) and consisted of 10 months, with 6 months of 30 days and 4 months of 31 days. The winter season was not assigned to any month, so the calendar year only lasted 304 days with 61 days unaccounted for in the winter.

After the Julian reform of 46 B.C. the Roman calendar -like ours, which is its offspring -was governed by the length of the earth’s circuit of the sun. The twelve months of our year retain by the sequence, the length, the names which were assigned them by the genius of Caesar and the prudence of Augustus.

Calendars exhibit It is sometimes claimed that having the year start on 1 January was part of the Gregorian calendar reform. This is not true. This myth has probably started because in 1752 England moved the start of the year to 1 January and also changed to the Gregorian calendar. But in most other countries the two events were not related. Scotland, for example, changed to the Gregorian calendar together with England in 1752, but they moved the start of the year to 1 January in 1600.
