Romulus’ calendar, November (the ninth month) had 30 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,<br />

November had 29 days. Gaius Julius Caesar, as Pontifex Maximus (supreme bridge-builder, a religious<br />

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

November had 30 days. Caesar’s calendar was calculated by Sosigenes, an Egyptian<br />

astrologer/astronomer. In 8 BCE, Augustus Caesar fixed errors by pontiffs after Julius’ death and made<br />

other minor modifications, resulting in the modern Western calendar. The modern Gregorian <strong>Calendar</strong>,<br />

named for Roman Catholic Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, was a realignment in 1582.<br />
