Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 What was the longest year? It was 46 BC. The calendar had gotten out of whack since as we all know a year is not exactly 365 days. Julius Caesar had the calendar corrected and implemented the Julian calendar. This resulted in 46 BC being 445 days long. It became known as the ultimus annus confusionsis (which means last year of confusion) since the change brought the seasons back into alignment with the calendar.

Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 And to think that the poor guy only got a salad and a Shakespearean play named after him. Talk about ingratitude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I don't know. After Jan 20th, 2021 could certainly be called ultimus annus confusionsus. Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Rye, I have a head full of useless information collected over many years from many sources. It's fun, but I can honestly tell you that not one bit of it has ever put a cent in my pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
