One of the functions was taking care of the <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-religion\/roman-calendar\/\">calendar<\/a>, which involved, for example, setting the next month. This explains why in 46 BCE the <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-religion\/roman-calendar\/\">calendar<\/a> December was in September. Influencing the calendar was to even shorten or extend the duration of the term of office of other officials. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The person who put an end to this was himself <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/biographies\/gaius-julius-caesar\/\">Gaius Julius Caesar<\/a> &#8211; at least theoretically. It was he who ordered the reform of the calendar and the old so-called Roman changed to <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/religia\/kalendarz-rzymski\/kalendarz-julianski\/\">Julian<\/a>. He could do this only by holding the office of the high priest of Rome. His term of office, however, did not last a year, since from 63 BCE to death. It is more than certain that he manipulated the calendar himself and knowing the possibilities offered by the title <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/curiosities\/pontifex-maximus-between-religion-and-politics\/\">Pontifex Maximus<\/a> decided to &#8220;relieve&#8221; other officials from bothering with the calendar issue. Of course, quarterly deregulation was also important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":36852,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"kategorie_ciekawostek":[77],"class_list":["post-57384","ciekawostki","type-ciekawostki","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategorie_ciekawostek-unknown-facts"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki\/57384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ciekawostki"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki\/57384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategorie_ciekawostek","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategorie_ciekawostek?post=57384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
