The first day of the consular term, which was effectively the first day of the year, changed several times during Roman history. It became 1 January in 153 BC, and this remained the start of the year after the Julian reform.
The Gregorian calendar decreed by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 is the most widely used calendar in the world today.
Depending on confession and cultural area there were and still are in use traditional calendars and seasonal days of celebration.
There are also technical-scientific models for describing points or intervals in time.
