The First Roman calendar was the Romulean calendar, established by Romulus, the first king of Rome, when he founded Rome in 753 BC. It only had 10 months. The second calendar, the calendar of Numa, was established soon afterwards by the second king of Rome, Numa Pompilius. It had 12 months. Both these calendars were lunar. The Julian calendar was established by the Julius Caesar in 45 BC. He switched from a lunar to a solar calendar. Apart from some minor modifications introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in the 15th century AD, this is the calendar we still use today.

What ancient civilization is our current calendar most like?

Our current calendar is most similar to the ancient Roman calendar, specifically the Julian calendar introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BCE. This calendar established a 365-day year with a leap year every four years, which laid the groundwork for the Gregorian calendar we use today. The structure of months and the concept of dividing the year into 12 months also have roots in earlier Roman practices. Additionally, the influence of the ancient Egyptians and their solar calendar further shaped our modern understanding of timekeeping.
