I would love for someone more well-versed to correct me on this, but I remember reading a decade ago about how the Roman priesthood (the calendar-keepers) would fudge with the dates to conform to their political desires, ranging from 200-500 days at the most extreme.

The fact that we can consolidate this down to only disagreeing on how to set our hours is what I'd call progress![1]
