 Roman Emperors - DIR Julian the Apostate
Julian was the last direct descendent of the Constantinian line to ascend to the purple, and it is one of history's great ironies that he was the last non-Christian emperor.
Julian was put under the care of Mardonius, a Scythian eunuch who had tutored his mother, in 339, and was raised in the Greek philosophical tradition, and probably lived in Nicomedia.

This application assumes that the changeover from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar occurred in October of 1582, according to the scheme instituted by Pope Gregory XIII.
Thus, there is a ten-day gap in calendar dates, but no discontinuity in Julian dates or days of the week: 4 October 1582 (Julian) is a Thursday, which begins at JD 2299159.5; and 15 October 1582 (Gregorian) is a Friday, which begins at JD 2299160.5.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Juliana of Norwich
She was probably a Benedictine nun, living as a recluse in an anchorage of which traces still remain in the east part of the churchyard of St. Julian in Norwich, which belonged to Carrow Priory.
It is probable that this is the manuscript cited by Francis Blomefield, the eigtheenth-century historian of Norfolk, and that a misreading of the date led to the statement that she was still living in 1442.
Attempts have been made to identify her with Lady Julian Lampet, the anchoress of Carrow, references concerning legacies to whom occur in documents from 1426 to 1478; but this is manifestly impossible.

 Toke Nørby. The Perpetual Calendar
When Russia, which still maintained the Julian Calendar, in 1795 took control of the main part of Lithuania (Provinces Vilna, Grodno, Kovno, Mohilev, Vitebsk and Minsk (11)), the Julian calendar was reinstated by the Czar administration on 1 January 1800.
Even different parts of Russia changed from the Julian to the Gregorian Calendar on different times during and after the revolution most sources refer to the change in February 1918 where 31 January 1918 JU, was succeeded by 14 February 1918 GR (4).
Of course the discrepancy continued but in 1917 the first step was taken to introduce the Gregorian Calendar as the beginning of the year was moved to 1917.03.01 GR leaving out the Days 16-29 February 1916 and the final adjustment was made when they changed the beginning of the year to 1918.01.01 (12).

 Julian Day Numbers
Julian Day Numbers, or the Julian Date (JD), is the absolute count of days that have elapsed since Noon 1 January 4713 BC on the Julian Calendar, or on what may more strictly be called the Julian "Proleptic" Calendar, meaning the Julian Calendar as applied to an era prior to its actual use.
The "Scalinger Year" is thus one less than the year of the Julian Period, and may be obtained by adding 4712 instead of 4713 to the year of the AD era.
1677 is then multipled by the number of days in four Julian years, 1461, and 1 is multiplied by the number of days in a common Julian year, 365.
