The Julian calendar was proclaimed by Julius Cæsar in 46 B.C. and underwent several modifications before reaching its final form in 8 C.E.

 Maya calendar: Encyclopedia - Maya calendar
A different form of calendar was used to track longer periods of time, and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others).
As a calendar for keeping track of the seasons, the Haab was crude and inaccurate, since it treated the year as having 365 days, and ignored the extra quarter day (approximately) in the actual tropical year.
Since Calendar Round dates can only distinguish within 18980 days, equivalent to around 52 solar years, the cycle repeats roughly once each lifetime, and thus, a much more refined method of dating was needed if their history was to be recorded accurately.

 Calendar
The Tibetan calendar is based on the cycles of the moon, and various dates are considered especially auspicious or inauspicious for certain practices.
As the lunar cycle is less than 30 days, and the year is divided into 12 months, tricks are applied to compensate for the difference between the 12 moon cycles in approximately 354 days and the actual 365-something days of the year.
The following are inauspicious dates according to the Tibetan calendar: 10th and 22nd of the First, Fifth and Ninth months; 7th and 19th of the Second, Sixth and Tenth months; 4th and 16th of the Third, Seventh and Eleventh months; 1st and 13th of the Fourth, Eighth and Twelfth months.

This allows you to sync up the calendar field values with a new time that is set for the calendar.
In non-lenient mode, all calendar fields are validated and this method throws an exception if any calendar fields have out-of-range values.
