The a.d. V Non. designation means ante diem or five “days before” the Nones (First Quarter Moon)
of the 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 Quintilis (or Quinctilis) is named for quin, because it was originally the fifth
month of the Roman solar year. In 45 BCE, the Roman Senate renamed the month Julius (July), for then
Roman Emperor Julius Caesar. July was sacred to Jupiter (Ivppiter), Roman King of Gods.
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, Quintilis (the fifth month) had 31 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, July had
31 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), July had
31 days. Caesar’s calendar was calculated by Sosigenes, an Egyptian astrologer/astronomer. The Roman
Senate changed the name of the month Quintilis to Julius (July) in honor of the Roman Emperor Julius
Caesar. 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.
