Roman information
a.d. IV Non. Oct.
4 days before the Nones of October
Month: October
The a.d. IV Non. designation means ante diem or four “days before” the Nones (First Quarter
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 October is named for octo, because it was originally the eighth month of the
Roman solar year October was sacred to Mars, Roman God of war.
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, October (the eighth month) had 31 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, October
had 31 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), October
had 31 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.
