World Religious Calendar 262
In some years, an intercalary month (Mensis Intercalaris) called Mercedinus or Mercedonius or
Intercalaris, was placed into February in order to bring the year into alignment. The intercalary month
followed February 23rd and then after the intercalary month, February resumed with February 24th.
Plutarch wrote “Numa … added an intercalary month, to follow February, consisting of twentty-two
days, and called by the Romans the month Mercedinus. This amendment, however, itself, in course of
time, came to need other amendments.” Some scholars claim that Intercalaris was added to the Roman
calendar in 452 BCE.
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), February was moved to
after January and had 28 days, except in leap years, when it had 29 days. The extra leap day was added
after February 23, rather than at the end of the month. 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.
