The '''Julian Calendar''', named after [[Julius Caesar]] who instituted it in 45 BC, is the basis of the [[calendar]] that we still use today. The [[month]]s, with their lengths, are as follows.

The '''Julian calendar''', named after [[Julius Caesar]], was instituted in 45 BC. It has twelve months and a leap day every four year. Thus a Julian year is exactly 365.25 days. The astronomical year is slightly shorter, 365.242 days. A modified version of this calendar, called the [[Gregorian calendar]], is in use today. The Julian calendar used in the British colonies until 1752. George Washington was born in February 11, 1731 by the Julian calendar, but on February 22, 1732 according to the Gregorian calendar. Russia used the Julian calendar until 1918.
