Roman information
a.d. IV Kal. Dec.
4 days before the Kalends of December
Month: November
The a.d. IV Kal. designation means ante diem or four “days before” the Kalends (first day or New
Moon) of the next 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 November is named for novem, because it was originally the ninth month of the
Roman solar year November was sacred to Diana, Roman Goddess of the Moon.
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, November (the ninth 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,
November 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),
November 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.
