Exhibition Lecture: Weeks, Months, and Years in Greek and Roman Calendars

Daryn Lehoux

This talk looks at how time was structured in Greek and Roman antiquity. How and why was the year divided into just this many units and not more or less? Where did the seven-day week come from? How was the division of the year into weeks, days, and months related to religious and political cycles and duties?
