The Julian Calendar, a reform of the Roman Calendar, was introduced by Julius Ceaser in 46 B.C. and came into effect in 45 B.C. It was chosen with consultation from the astronomer Sosigenes of Alexandria to approximate the tropical year. Its regular year is 365 days divided into 12 months. Every four years a leap day is added to February.
