Caesarian I of Rome undertook several major reforms to the calendar system, which was… decidedly out of joint, and oftentimes didn't even match months to their proper seasons. In early Rome, the year began at the spring equinox, in Martius, and the number of days in the year did not reflect properly Earth's full solar year.

Hence, the following changes were made: All months but three were regularized to thirty days. The calendar year began in Ianuarius instead of Martius.

One month was named for Julius Caesar, becoming July. Two days were added to it, for a total of 32. One month was renamed for Caesarion, and two days added to it. One day was added to the end of December, and, every four years, a second day was added to this last month of the year, to account for leap years.
