    #history, #archaeology, #stonecircles and #standingstones… your thing? And especially if you’re from #Oxfordshire, you might just love this.It's my hand-painted map of Ancient Oxfordshire. I hope you like it.I’m having A2 poster prints made, and I’ll be signing every one. Prints will be ready mid-February, so if you'd like one pre-order now and you won’t miss out. More info here: https://janetomlinson.com/products/ancient-oxfordshireAnd best of all, the original painting has already found a home! 💛Very kindly, the buyer has agreed to lend it back to me so I can show it in my Oxfordshire Artweeks exhibition in May. Thanks for looking. 🙏

    @paninid I hate to "well, actually…" this because it's a funny joke, but well, actually…Julius Caesar (the one who was stabbed) died 44 BCE. The change that messed up this happened about 100 years prior, when the Senate (Rome was a republic back then, there was no emperor) moved the start of the consular year (the start of the consuls' term) from the Ides of March to January. It was moved to January 1st so that Quintus Fulvius Nobilior could begin his term early.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintus_Fulvius_NobiliorIt's a common myth that Julius Caesar is somehow responsible for this because he was the one that introduced the julian calendar (the predecessor to the gregorian one we use today) and this officially made January the first month of the year, even if this had been the practice for about 100 years already. At this time the 5th and 6th months were called Quintilis and Sextilis. Quintilis was renamed to honor Julius Caesar after his death, and later Sextilis was renamed to honor Augustus Caesar.I'm sure I'm making some mistake here, besides the obvious one of trying to correct somebody on the Internet 😉.
