Editing New Roman Lunisolar Calendar

'''New Roman Lunisolar Calendar''' is a fictional calendar invented by [[User:Hellerick|Hellerick]] in 2008. The Calendar is inspired by the ancient 10-month [[Roman calendar]] and is an attempt to make it regular and suitable for long-term use.

== Structure of the year ==

The “core” of the year consist of ten 30-day months. These months are adjusted in relation to the moon phase, and in theory the night between the first five months and the second five months of the core should be the [[new moon]] closest to the southern [[solstice]] (and therefore close to the new year in the [[Attic calendar]]). While the middle months are well adjusted, the peripheral months somewhat drift from the close correspondence between the day number and the moon phase (up to three day difference).

The rest of the year is the winter period known as ''Brumiae'' (“yules”) and is divided into two equal (or nearly equal) months. The Brumias can be either long (84 days) or short (54 or 55 days), and therefore their months can have either 42 or 27-28 days.

The beginning of the year is located between the two months of Brumias, and therefore falls on either [[new moon]] or [[full moon]] closest to the northern [[solstice]]. When the Brumias are short, the year begins on new moon; when the Brumias are long, the year begins on full moon.

The table below shows the month names and, their lengths, and the date span in Gregorian Calendar in which the first day of the month of the New Roman Lunisolar Calendar for recent years:

=== Naming conventions ===

Six months’ names are derived from Latin numerals denoting the months’ position within the “core” of the year, e.g. ''Sextiliae'' is the sixth 30-day month, ''Decembriae'' the tenth etc. The month names look familiar, but in fact they are about 1.5 months fast in relation to the [[Gregorian calendar]].

Strictly speaking, the months have no names of their own. Words like ''Februariae'' are in fact plurals, while a singular form ''Februaria'' means something like “a day of the first month of the year”; i.e. not the months but their days have special names denoting their position within the year. In English the month names are usually rendered as ''Februarias'', ''Martias'', ''Aprilias'' etc. (“The consuls’ term ends in the next Quintilias.”). The days of the month are named in the next style: “the first Maia, the second Maia, ... the 30th Maia”. To mention not the days of the month, but the month itself, you have to use an expression like ''Apriliarum mensis'' (“the month of Aprilias”), e.g. “every ''Sextiliarum mensis'' the Phrygians had to pay tribute”.

The terms like ''calendae'', ''nonae'', and ''idae'' are mostly discarded, and when used, denote the days of the actual moon phases, and aren't bound to some specified days of the months.

== Rules ==

The calendar is based on 334-year cycle.

:334 years = 4131 lunar months = 4008 calendrical months = 121991 days

It gives average year of about 365.24251 days, and average lunar month of about 29.530622 days. In theory once in ten cycles (i.e. once in 3340 years) one day should be dropped (which would give the values 365.2422 and 29.53060), but in practice no rules for it were developed.

The 334-year cycle contains 123 long Brumias (corresponding to three lunar months) and 211 short Brumias (corresponding to two lunar months).

The next mathematical conditions determine the length of Brumias (in Pascal-style notation):

:<tt>Y mod 334 mod 19 mod 11 mod 3 = 0</tt> : Januarias are long (42 days), otherwise they are short (27 or 28 days).
:<tt>Y mod 334 mod 19 mod 11 mod 3 = 1</tt> : Februarias are long (42 days), otherwise they are short (27 days).

Note: long Februarias always follow the long Januarias, and short Februarias always follow the short Januarias. The difference between the two formulae arises from the new year at Februarias, which raises the year number by 1.

The short Januarias are leap, i.e. have 28 days instead of 27, when the next condition is true:

:<tt>(4 * (Y mod 334) - 2 * int((Y mod 334) / 19) - 3 * int((Y mod 334 mod 19) / 11) - 4 * int((Y mod 334 mod 19 mod 11) / 3) - 4) mod 13 &lt; 4</tt>

The leap day is called ''Brumia intercalaris'', and sometimes is not considered one of the Januarias, but a special “independent” day instead.

The table below shows the lengths of Januarias within 334 year cycle resulting from the formulas above:

Year length varies between 354 and 370 days. The 334-year cycle has:

* 61 years of 354 days (27+30×10+27)
* 27 years of 355 days (27+30×10+28)
* 208 years of 369 days (42+30×10+27 and 27+30×10+42)
* 38 years of 370 days (42+30×10+28)

== Epoch ==

The calendar uses ''ab urbe condita'' (AUC) era. The first Februaria of the of the first year “after the founding of the city” is fixed on the full moon, January 1st, 752 BCE in [[Proleptic Julian calendar]], or December 24th, 753 BCE in [[Proleptic Gregorian calendar]].

The first two columns are year numbers in ''ab urbe condita'' and Common eras (please note that New Roman year begins in December of the previous Gregorian year, e.g. 2760 AUC starts on 2007-12-24 CE and not in 2008). The next twelve columns show the months/days of the Gregorian calendar, on which the New Roman months begin. ''LF'' and ''LJ'' columns show the length of that year's Februarias and Januarias (all the other months are 30 days long). The last column shows the length of the New Roman year.

== Market week ==

The calendar is designed to be used with 6-day market week. The days of the week are identified by a letter of the Latin Alphabet (A through F). There are no “days off” in the market week, but different kinds of activity and legal actions are assigned to its days. This assignment is flexible, and the government, every city, organization etc. may decide what these activities are. The Day F is usually considered the market day. A particular market may decide on a different day to operate though.

The ''Brumia intercalaris'' (the 28th Januaria of short Brumias), which occurs roughly once in five years, is not considered part of any week, and no weekday is assigned to it.

==Every month except short Februarias begins on Day A; short Februarias begin on Day D. Most months consist of 5 weeks, long months consist of 7 weeks, short months consist of 4.5 weeks, i.e. the middle week of short Brumias is divided between the two years: three days (A, B, C) are left in the previous year, and three days (D, E, F) go to the next.'''<u>each day they had sex.</u>'''==

The next algorithms can be used to convert the dates between New Roman Lunisolar Calendar and [[Microsoft Excel day number]].

Note: The next expressions bind the Microsoft Excel day number with [[Rata Die]] and [[Julian day number]]:

== Trivia ==

In period between 1982 and 2064 CE, the New Roman Lunisolar Calendar can be used to determine the date of the Western Easter. The rule is the next: when <tt>YEAR mod 19</tt> is 2 or 13, the Easter falls on the Sunday between 18th and 24th Aprilia, otherwise it falls on the Sunday between 18th and 24th Maia.

The months of the New Roman Lunisolar Calendar sometimes coincide with the months of the Gregorian Calendar. E.g.:

: 2008-09-01 CE = 2760-09-01 AUC
: 2008-10-01 CE = 2760-10-01 AUC
: 2011-02-01 CE = 2763-02-01 AUC
: 2011-06-01 CE = 2763-06-01 AUC
: 2011-07-01 CE = 2763-07-01 AUC etc.

The last time the new years of the New Roman and the Julian calendars did coincide was in 32 CE / 784 AUC. The first time the beginnings of the New Roman and the Gregorian calendars will coincide will be in 7904 CE / 8656 AUC.
