"Have you ever wondered why the extra day of the leap year falls on February 29, an odd date in the middle of the year, and not at the end of the year on December 32? There is a simple answer, and a slightly more complex one." https://theconversation.com/the-leap-year-is-february-29-not-december-32-due-to-a-roman-calendar-quirk-and-fastidious-medieval-monks-224433 @histodon @histodons @medievodons

@bibliolater @history @histodon @histodons @medievodons Great post, and follow up questions from The Conversation. Medieval and ancient Roman time reckoning is a fascinating wormhole to explore. It's fun to find out where our various modern weird-isms come from...Feb 29th and the like.
