a.d. III Id. Sept.
3 days before the Ides of September
Month: September
The a.d. III Id. designation means ante diem or three “days before” the Ides (Full Moon) of the
month. When counting days, the Romans included both the start and end day (in modern Western
culture, we skip the start day). When the Romans switched to a solar calendar, they continued to use the
lunar day names.
The Roman month of September is named for septem, because it was originally the seventh month of
the Roman solar year September was sacred to Vulcan (Vvlcan), Roman God of fire.
The earliest Roman months were lunar. According to Roman mythology, the ten month solar calendar
aligned to the vernal equinox was introduced by Romulus, the founder of Rome, around 753 BCE. In
Romulus’ calendar, September (the seventh month) had 30 days. Numa Pompilius, the second of the
seven traditional kings of Rome, added two more months, for a 12 month year. In Numa’s calendar,
September had 29 days. Gaius Julius Caesar, as Pontifex Maximus (supreme bridge-builder, a religious
title), reorganized the calendar on the first day of 45 BCE. In Caesar’s calendar (the Julian Calendar),
September had 30 days. Caesar’s calendar was calculated by Sosigenes, an Egyptian
astrologer/astronomer. In 8 BCE, Augustus Caesar fixed errors by pontiffs after Julius’ death and made
other minor modifications, resulting in the modern Western calendar. The modern Gregorian Calendar,
named for Roman Catholic Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, was a realignment in 1582.
Today totals 2 in modern Western numerology.
