I do understand the Roman calendar based on this information, but am amazed that a society that could grasp this system would not have just numbered the days. Maybe ordinal numbers weren't a thing yet? I don't know that timeline. Interesting content today!

[@JanHoos]

yes, this is exactly my idea as well. is there any evidence why they did it this way? or what is the assumption the scientist community is landing on?
