  The Old Text School   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
At that time copies of the Confucian classics written in ancient script which had been in use before the burning of the books in 213 BCE were unearthed from the houses of Confucius and others.
46 BCE-23 CE), one of the pioneers of the school, sought to gain official recognition for these versions of the classics, but met strong opposition from the elite Confucian officials and scholars and was ultimately defeated.
The doctrines of the Old Text School were established in the writings of Yang Hsiung (53 BCE-18 CE), and were fully developed, and combined with the doctrines of the New Text School, by Cheng Hsuan (127-200 CE) in the commentaries on almost all the Confucian classics.

Following the Dark Age of Greece (1100-800 BCE) with its characteristic invasion waves, the expansion of the Dorian people group was illustrated by their colonization of Syracuse and Corcyra from areas like Corinth.
It was important to Philip II (who garrisoned the mount of Acrocorinth) and later even became the capital of the Aechean League for a short time before it aligned against the rising Roman power.
By 46 BCE, Julius Caesar re-colonized the area and gave it the status of Roman capital of Achaia.

 Re: orion-list Cave 4 linen and deposit date
Likewise, at the 98% level of confidence, that is of 100 measurements 98 of them would fall within that range, 19 times out twenty, the range is from 197 BCE-46 CE or 150 years.
This tells us the measures are skewed toward the bottom end of the range and so the 58.5 BCE Mean is suspect.
So here we have an indicator that, even with the con- tamination certain to have occurred, a 60's BCE date is more than a little certain.

Vercingetorix, who died in 46 BCE, was a Gallic chieftain who dreamed of uniting the rival tribes of Gaul under his leadership.
But in 52 BCE Vercingetorix shuts himself inside the fortified town of Alesia, near present-day Dijon, and summons all his Gallic allies to attack the besieging Romans.
But Caesar is experienced at the siege and not only builds siege works outside the walls, shutting off the Gauls from replenishing their month's supply of food, but builds siege works against the allies he knows are on their way.

 Julian calendar - Metaweb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In 1883 the German chronologist Matzat proposed another ignoring year zero based on a passage in Dio Cassius that mentions a leap day in 41 BCE that was said to be contrary to Caesar's rule.
Historians since Bede have traditionally represented the years preceding AD 1 as "1 BC", "2 BC", etc. In this system the year 1 BC would be a leap year (although the leap years actually observed between 46 BCE and 4 CE were erratic: see the Julian calendar article for details).
When using the Latin numbering system, which does not include zero, it is traditional to represent the years preceding 1 as " 1 BCE " etc. In this system the year 1 BCE is a leap year (likewise in the Proleptic Julian calendar).

It wasn’t until Julius Caesar (about 46 BCE) decided that on order to command such a vast empire, (albeit briefly) he needed some knowledge of when his troops were supposed to be somewhere.
Going back in time we go to 1 CE to 1 BCE, there is no ‘0’ year and that causes problems, because the rules for leap years should be valid for the year ‘0’.
The absence of this means that the next leap year back is 5 BCE and 9 BCE etc, the leap years therefore are not divisible by 4 and the formula for the century leap years is not valid.

(The exact time for the solar year is approximately 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds.) After 3 years, such a lunar calendar would be off by a whole month, so the Assyrians added an extra month from time to time to keep their calendar in synchronization with the seasons.
By imperial decree, the year 46 BCE was made 445 days long to bring the calendar back in step with the seasons.
Caesar also decreed that the year would start with the first of January, which since 153 BCE was the day that Roman consuls took office, and not the vernal equinox in late March.

This would correspond to the chronology that places his 18th regnal year in 587/6 B.C.E. However, this tablet is admittedly a copy made in the third century B.C.E. so it is possible that its historical information is simply that which was accepted in the Seleucid period.

 The Julian Calendar | polysyllabic
So by the end of the year 708 (46 BCE), the calendar was pretty much back in sync with the seasons.
This convention explains one seeming paradox: the first year of the Julian calendar should have been a leap year in the new sense, but one was not celebrated that year.
At this point, someone must have brought the problem to Augustus Caesar’'s attention, because he decreed that there should be no leap year at all for the next 12 years, and carefully rephrased the rule to say "intercalate at five year intervals," so dense Romans would get their counting right.
