specification:
  - |
    The Julian calendar was introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BC and subsequently
    amended by Augustus in about 8 BC to correct an error in the application of its
    leap year rule during its first 3 decades. Years had been counted from various
    starting epochs during the Julian calendar's use; the version specified by this
    specification uses the same starting epoch as the Gregorian calendar.
    
    This calendar uses the same months as the Gregorian calendar, differing only in
    which years February has 29 days.
    
    The epoch marker `BCE` is permitted in this calendar; year *y* BCE indicates a
    year *y* years before year 1. Thus, there is no year 0; year 1 BCE was followed
    by year 1.
