		In 27 BCE, Octavian announced the "Restoration of the Republic", with himself as Princeps Senatus of the state, with the powers of a Tribune (the most important of these being the right of veto, and inviolacy) for life, and Imperator (from which the word Emperor is later derived) of Rome's armies.

	The Julian Calendar
		In the second year of Caesar’s dictatorship (707 AUC = 47 BCE) the calendar was running seriously behind the solar year.
		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.

	Re: orion-list Radiocarbon
		It is not possible, however, to discriminate between a full set of dated texts and an hypothesized empty set of dated texts, as you are trying to do.
		The null hypothesis is that on a random basis, an equal number of texts will fall in the two categories of pre-63 BCE and post-63 BCE.
		So you can, if you like, legitimately talk about a trend in favor of a 63 BCE cut-off, and not have to be embarassed by the anomalies in the data.

		In the early months of 47 BCE the siege continued with no particular advantage on either side.
		By this time, much of the Egyptian fleet had been burned in the Great Harbor (a book depository on the docks also caught fire, prompting the erroneous story that the Great Library of Alexandria had been destroyed), Ptolemy's chief advisors had been killed or fled, and Cleopatra discovered that she was pregnant.
		The little boy was declared to be the son of a Roman general and named Caesar, though he was always known by the diminutive Caesarion.

		The cloaked figure has also been attributed to the cult of the genius cucullatus because the coin is dated to a period at least one hundred years before the appearance of Greek money bearing the image of Telesphorus (Deonna 48).

		But, in addition to the temple cult, sometime between 500 BCE and 300 BCE a second institution which we know by its Greek name, synagogue ("gathering") appeared, at least partly due to Jewish fears of ever again becoming dependent upon a temple which any earthly tyrant might one day march upon and burn down.
