So it is off by a few months..
Not bad for Pliny the younger for recording information Twenty years after the fact.
They had a better grasp of real news than our present fake news.
I wholeheartedly agree.
I suppose that we will be celebrating the anniversary at this time next week.
October = “eighth month” - might other dates be off by two months also?
Pliny the Younger actually wrote Nonum Kal. Septembres - the 9th day before the Kalends of September.
24-25-26-27-28-29-30-31-1.
That would be 24 August, yes.
At first glance, I’d say that’s not likely, but I don’t have another explanation.
