Re: Remember that the idea of a yeaar is a pretty recent concept
The idea that we would have numbered our years based on the founding of Rome makes sense
Astronomers use Julian Day for some purposes - sequential days since 4713 BC. Today is JD 2,453,390 or so. Why they chose that year I know not. I once though it was the founding of Rome, but that year's a speck too early.
