In the Roman calendar , before the Julian calendar was introduced by Julius Caesar , February 23 was called Terminalien . In the original lunar calendar, they were the opposite of the nuns and denoted the waning crescent.

After February 23, the leap month Intercalaris began in a leap year . It had 27 or 28 days, depending on whether it was a leap year with 377 or 378 days. So there was quite a difference between the calendar and the seasons, as the Roman year was about a day too long. For this reason, arbitrary advertisements were often made, with the decision whether or not to switch to a few days before the February terminal (February 23). Since the days after the Ides had to be counted backwards to the calendar of March (in normal years) or the leap month (in leap years), the days up to the terminal of February were counted in such years. February 20 was then designated as "Day IV in front of the terminal" . With the Roman calendar, the current day was always counted.
