<strong>World</strong> <strong>Religious</strong> <strong>Calendar</strong> 1179<br />

The earliest Roman months were lunar. According to Roman mythology, the ten month solar calendar<br />

aligned to the vernal equinox was introduced by Romulus, the founder of Rome, around 753 BCE. In<br />

Romulus’ calendar, October (the eighth month) had 31 days. Numa Pompilius, the second of the seven<br />

traditional kings of Rome, added two more months, for a 12 month year. In Numa’s calendar, October<br />

had 31 days. Gaius Julius Caesar, as Pontifex Maximus (supreme bridge-builder, a religious title),<br />

reorganized the calendar on the first day of 45 BCE. In Caesar’s calendar (the Julian <strong>Calendar</strong>), October<br />

had 31 days. Caesar’s calendar was calculated by Sosigenes, an Egyptian astrologer/astronomer. In 8<br />

BCE, Augustus Caesar fixed errors by pontiffs after Julius’ death and made other minor modifications,<br />

resulting in the modern Western calendar. The modern Gregorian <strong>Calendar</strong>, named for Roman Catholic<br />

Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, was a realignment in 1582.<br />

Today totals 7 in modern Western numerology.<br />
