Id. Dec.
the Ides of December
Month: December
The Ides was originally the Full Moon on the early Roman lunar calendar. The Latin word idus
means “half division” of a month and comes from an older Etruscan word meaning “divide”. The Ides
occurred on the 15th day of March, May, July, and October, and on the 13th day of all other months.
The Romans considered the ides to be a particularly auspicious (good) day, dedicated to Jupiter, the
Roman King deity.
The Roman month of December is named for decem, because it was originally the tenth month of the
Roman solar year. December was sacred to Vesta, the Roman Goddess of hearth, home, and family.
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, December (the tenth 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, December
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),
December 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.
Today totals 4 in modern Western numerology.
