	COLIGNY CALENDAR
		He further speculated that the information recorded on the calendar was compiled by Gallic druids who wished to preserve the ancient Celtic system of timekeeping, at the time when the Julian calendar was being rigorously enforced throughout the entire Roman empire, around the turn of the first century AD.
		Two of the main Celtic religious festivals Beltain and Lughnasadh were indicated on the Coligny calendar by small sigils, and each year started with the month of Samonios, during which period the festival of Samhain was celebrated.
		Though not confirmed by the Coligny inscriptions, we also know that in accordance with general Celtic custom, which was itself adopted from the ancient Greek observance, each day was reckoned to last from sunset to sunset; not midnight to midnight as our modern Roman calendar dictates.

	The Calendar of Coligny
		The Coligny Calendar is thought to have first been fabricated in about 50 A.D. or about 100-years after the Romans made their unwelcome incursion into the affairs of Gaul under Julius Caesar.
		The fragmented Calendar of Coligny was destined to sleep undisturbed in its hiding place for many centuries until a time when it could emerge into world that would wish to preserve it.
		These indicate that significant milestones have been reached in the count of days and that, either, the moment arrived at within the calendar cycle is of great importance, or else the "number" exhibited is one of the special ones, much used in the general calculation endeavours of their ancient society.

		This calendar, fragments of bronze inscribed with the days months and years of the Celtic world dates from the late first century and was found in Coligny in Ain, France.
		The Coligny evidence does however give us a unique overview of how the Celts saw time itself, the ebb and flow of the year, and how those years fitted into a larger chronological picture.
		The sixteen columns of the Coligny Calendar are each divided into four lunar months (alternating 29 and 30 days in length) to a column — except however the fifth and ninth columns each contain two lunar months and an additional third intercalary month.

		With the discovery of the Calendar of Coligny it became clear that astronomy was currently practised by the Celts, at least among the druidic class.
		In this context we must remark that the calendar of Coligny embodies a mathematical model that require an excellent, but empirical, knowledge of the geocentric theory of the Lunar motion as well as some very good empirical ideas on the laws regulating the apparent motion of the Sun in the sky.
		The table of Coligny suggests the existence of an intercalary month of 30 days to add after 2.5 lunar years within the cycle of five years.

		A Coligny, nella regione dell'Ain (sud della Francia), antica terra dei Galli Ambarri, furono ritrovati in un pozzo, nel novembre del 1897, i frammenti di una tavola di bronzo, le cui incisioni riproducevano la sequenza dei giorni di un calendario.
		Il calendario di Coligny contiene la rappresentazione di una sequenza di cinque anni lunari completi, ciascuno composto da 12 mesi alternativamente lunghi 29 o 30 giorni, piu' 2 mesi supplementari, ritenuti essere mesi intercalari introdotti per rendere lunisolare il calendario.
		Il calendario di Coligny indica quindi che le eclissi di Luna cadevano alternativamente sempre alle stesse date di calendario lunare, mediamente sempre il giorno VIII della prima quindicina di due mesi separati da mezzo anno sinodico lunare.

		One of the most often cited references, in fact, is not a piece of writing but a calendar, known as the Coligny Calendar, which is the earliest known artifact that refers to the old druidic festivals - Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh and Samhain.
		It is a fragment of a bronze sheet on which was inscribed a kind of list of lucky and unlucky days, including the festivals, clearly a religious text which the druids consulted.

		An inscription which can be seen on the Coligny calendar marked in the month of Samon reads Trinox samoni sindiv, or "The three nights of Samonios today" suggesting that this marked a festival.
		In 1886, John Rhys gave a lecture linking the apparent similarities between this festival, and this month, between the Irish festival of Samhain (and also the name for the month of November), which we know took place at the end of October/start of November, and along with Beltane seems to have been quite important.

		In ancient Egypt and Babylonia, in China and Hindostan, and again on the American Continent, among the Aztecs or the ancient Peruvians, definite traces have been found of a more or less elaborate calculation of seasons serving as a basis for religious observances.
		In 1897, a remarkable discovery was made at Coligny in the department of Ain, France, when certain inscribed stone slabs were brought to light in which all are agreed in recognizing an ancient Celtic calendar, probably pre-Christian, though the precise interpretation of the details still remains a matter of lively controversy.
		Again, both Greece and Rome possessed highly developed calendars, and the Fasti of Ovid, for example, preserve a detailed description in verse of the chief celebrations of the Roman year.

		The two incised stones, and several others bearing ancient inscriptions, were found within 300-feet (100 metres) of each other.
		The layout of the 64-square matrix stone is very reminiscent of the ancient Druidic Calendar of Coligny of Ain, France, which used a 64-square, chessboard design (doubling to 128-squares) for lunisolar calendar calculations.
		The design lattices seen here are very similar to what is seen on Lapita pottery of the Pacific, which is also a duplication of the Neolithic Wessex and Beaker designs of ancient Britain.
