    Re: Ides of September
    From: G Becker

    I am not positive, that is why I asked... It looks like the system for Ides, etc., was based on the moon phase. Ides was defined as the day of the full moon, the other days were set from that point. Fast forward to September 2013, the day of the full moon is today (this morning at my location). Today should be the Roman Ides, the 13th of September. Is that correct?

    "Is today (9/19/13) the Ides of September?"

    No, I believe it was six days ago. Of course, the "Ides of March" was March 15 in the old Roman calendar. I had to look it up, but apparently in short months (like September), the "ides" was the 13th.
