The Roman calendar, in particular the Julian form of the calendar during the reign of Caesar, was used as the basis for what is, globally, the most important calendar today. It evolved in a series of reforms and revolutions and many of its peculiar features, from the names of the months to the number of days, are still visible. Offering new reconstructions of the critical stages of its technical, political, medial, and religious history, The Roman Calendar from Numa to Constantine demands serious revisions to previous accounts and provides a definitive history of the Roman calendar.
