The Julian Calendar was introduced in 46 BC by Julius Caesar and took force in 45 BC (709 ab urbe condita).
The chronologist Joseph Scaliger established in 1583 that the Augustan reform was instituted in 8 BC, and inferred that the sequence of leap years was 42, 39, 36, 33, 30, 27, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9 BC, AD 8, 12 etc. This proposal is still the most widely accepted solution.
This suggests that one aim of the realignment portion of the Augustan reform was to ensure that key dates of his career, notably the fall of Alexandria on August 1, 30 BC, were unaffected by his correction.

The earliest remains go back to the Mycenean age (ca 1400-1100 BC) and seem to mark an Aegean colony, but in historic times Citium was the chief center of Phoenician influence in Cyprus.
That this was still a recent settlement in the 7th century BC is suggested by an allusion in a list of the allies of Assurbanipal of Assyria in 668 BC to a King Damusu (Damasos) of Karti-hadasti (Phoenician "new city"), where Citium would be expected.
During the Ionian Greek revolts of the 4th century BC Citium led the side that was loyal to Persia and was besieged by an Athenian force in 449 BC.

It was chosen after consultation with Sosigenes and was probably intended to reflect some tropical year, with a standard year of 365 days divided into 12 months and a "leap day" added every 4 years.
Despite the new calendar being much simpler than the older Roman calendar, those tasked with implementing the calendar -- the Pontiffs, not the Pope, but a group of priests who were responsible for keeping the calendar in Roman society, apparently misunderstood the algorithm.
