This is one of the Nova Roma wiki help files.

We have a large set of templates that simplify inserting Roman-style dates into wiki articles. The inserted dates also provide modern date glosses as hover text.

Contents

Example

Templates always use pairs of braces. If you enter:

{{Jul 7}} {{2000}}

This is what will appear in the article:

Non. Quin.  Q. Maximo M. Minucio cos.  MMDCCLIII a.u.c.

Years

Conversion

Templates convert recent years to Roman-style consular dating. (List of available templates).

Type:

{{2004}}

to get:

Cn. Salvio Cn. Equitio cos.  MMDCCLVII a.u.c.

This year AUC

Type:

{{AUC}}

to get the current year AUC in Arabic numerals:

2777

This year Consular

Type:

{{{{CURRENTYEAR}} }}

to get the current year in Consular form:

Roman Dates

Conversion

Templates convert dates in month-day format into Roman dates:

to get:

Kal. Ian. .
  • Months use three letter abbreviations without a period: Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
  • Days are not padded with leading zeroes.

Leap year

For dates that fall during a leap year, use the following special templates:

  • {{Feb 25b}}

  • {{Feb 28b}}


Today

Type:

{{{{CURRENTMONTHABBREV}} {{CURRENTDAY}}}}

to get today in Roman dating:

a.d. X Kal. Dec. 

"Today is a.d. X Kal. Dec. ." or "Hodiernus dies a.d. X Kal. Dec. est."
