Salve Titus Labienus,
This is a great site, but the calendar there is the one devised by Divus
Iulius in the first century BCE. Is there a site that has the earlier
calendar used by Nova Roma?
Is the calendar on our own Web site now up to date?
Vale,
L. Sergius Aust.

of a speeding bus.
Pisces: Try to avoid any Virgos or Leos with the Ebola virus.
Aries: The look on your face will be priceless when you find that 40-pound
watermelon in your colon.
Taurus: You will never find true happiness - what you gonna do, cry about it?
Gemini: Your birthday party will be ruined once again by your explosive
flatulence.
Cancer: The position of Jupiter says that you should spend the rest of the
week face down in the mud.
Leo: Now is not a good time to photocopy your butt and staple kit to your
boss's face, oh no
Virgo: All Virgos are extreemly friendly and intelligent - except for you.

talented than you.

A pre Julian calendar would be most interesting. Just the same this one
is of use to us because it is the calendar we live with.
A picky point I couldn't pass up -- well, I could, but this is one time
when I can say it (of course, you will have the last word [lol] )
Since all the number of days for each month is the same that we have
the calendar is adapted to/from after the month of Augustus got its
thirty-one days. Did this happen before teh principle Princips died?
Bene vale,
C. Aelius Ericus

Last word? I doubt it, because you leave me with a question: is the only
difference between the Julian calendar and the previous one that the
Julian calendar begins with January?
I thought it says on our Web site somewhere that we use the pre-Julian
calendar. I was sure the Divine Julius changed more than just the
sequence of the months, but I don't recall the details right now. Do you?
Vale,
L. Sergius Australicus
