old roman calender


The seven day week did not become part of Roman life until late in their history (321 AD).  Before this time, the Romans had a division of the month based on a market day recurring every eight days. The market day was called nundinae (novem dies) = "nine days." 

In addition to the old official division of the months by the Calends (first of each month), the Nones (the fifth or seventh day) and the Ides (the thirteenth or fifteenth day).
SOOOON!
