From another thread:
Comet 3I/ATLAS
is only the third interstellar object ever recorded in our solar system. The space rock, which
Hubble Space Telescope observations suggest is
somewhere between 1,400 feet (440 meters) and 3.5 miles
(5.6 kilometers) wide, zoomed into our solar system at around 137,000 mph(221,000 km/h) last year before slingshotting around the sun.
The Cs said it was 8 km wide. We'll find out in a couple of days what a 8 km wide comet does in interaction with Jupiter, as comet 3I Atlas makes perihelion with the giant planet.
Finding those puzzle pieces is a race against time for astronomers, as comet 3I/ATLAS is now hurtling out of the solar system. It's currently passing Jupiter, where it is expected to make its closest approach on Sunday (March 15). The comet will come within about 33 million miles (54 million km) of the gas giant — much closer than it got to Earth.
March 15 is also Ides of March and the day of commemorating the passing of Julius Caesar, but did the Romans have a calendar as we have, and if so what would be the day of Ides according to their calculation. The short story is that they followed the Julian calendar and that the 15th of March in that perspective will be the 28th March in ours. In principle the same day, but because of the variation between the Gregorian and Julian calendar, there is a difference of 13 days.
Below are more notes on the Ides of March, and oddly enough the story will lead back to Jupiter.
The term Ides connects to the Roman calendar.
The Roman calendar was the calendar used by the Roman Kingdom and Roman Republic. Although the term is primarily used for Rome's pre-Julian calendars, it is often used inclusively of the Julian calendar established by Julius Caesar in 46 BC.[a]
According to most Roman accounts, their original calendar was established by their legendary first king Romulus. It consisted of ten months, beginning in spring with March and leaving winter as an unassigned span of days before the next year. These months each had 30 or 31 days and ran for 38 nundinal cycles, each forming a kind of eight-day week—nine days counted inclusively in the Roman manner—and ending with religious rituals and a public market. This fixed calendar bore traces of its origin as an observational lunar one. In particular, the most important days of each month—its kalends, nones, and ides—seem to have derived from the new moon, the first-quarter moon, and the full moon respectively. To a late date, the College of Pontiffs formally proclaimed each of these days on the Capitoline Hill and Roman dating counted down inclusively towards the next such day in any month. (For example, the year-end festival of Terminalia on 23 February was called VII. Kal. Mart., the 6th day before the March kalends.)
[...]
Victorious in his civil war, Caesar reformed the calendar in 46 BC, making the year of his third consulship last for 446 days. This new Julian calendar was an entirely solar one, influenced by the Egyptian calendar.
[...]
Roman dates were counted inclusively forward to the next one of three principal days within each month:[53]
- Kalends (Kalendae or Kal.), the first day of each month[53]
- Nones (Nonae or Non.), the seventh day of "full months"[54][f] and fifth day of hollow ones,[53] 8 days before the Ides in every month
- Ides (Idus, variously Eid. or Id.), the 15th day of "full months"[54][f] and the 13th day of hollow ones,[53] one day earlier than the middle of each month.
, with the kalends proclaimed after the sighting of the first sliver of the new crescent moon a day or two after the new moon, the nones occurring on the day of the first-quarter moon, and
the ides on the day of the full moon. The kalends of each month were sacred to Juno and the ides to Jupiter.[55][56] The day before each was known as its eve (pridie); the day after each (postridie) was considered particularly unlucky.
At the time Caesar was assassinated, the Julian solar calendar was followed. Ides was in the middle of the month. The 15th of March 2026 according to Julian calendar, still followed by some Orthodox Christians, will be March 28th 2026 according to the Gregorian.
Ides and its pronunciation
The way Ides is pronounced in the English dictionary and how it was pronounced in Classical Latin differ with the main difference appearing to the first vovel.
From
How To Pronounce Classical Latin (& How We Know!) By
Livia March 27, 2022 the pronounciation guide for vovels has:
short I [English equivalent:] like i in pig [IPA symbol:] ɪ, [example:] vēritās
But if on looks up Collins Dictionary for both British and American English it gives:
in (aɪdz
)
Following the link to the pronunciation guide then gives:
aɪ as in
dive (daɪv),
aisle (aɪl),
guy (gaɪ),
might (maɪt),
rye (raɪ)
For comparison, the above guide in the Collins Dictionary gives for the IPA symbol
ɪ:
| ɪ | as in pretty (‘prɪtɪ), build (bɪld), busy (‘bɪzɪ), nymph (nɪmf), pocket (‘pɒkɪt), sieve (sɪv), women (‘wɪmɪn) |
The Wiki for
Ides of March tells us:
Originally the Ides were supposed to be determined by the full moon, reflecting the lunar origin of the Roman calendar. Martius (March) was the first month of the Roman year until as late as the mid-second century BC, an order reflected in the numerical names of the months of September (the seventh month) through December (the tenth month) not corresponding to their current position on the Gregorian calendar. In the earliest Roman calendar, the Ides of March would have been the first full moon of the new year.[2] As a fixed point in the month, the Ides accumulated functions set to occur every month, and was the day when debt payments and rents were due.[3][4
If March could have been the first month, and September month number seven, then what about the month of
July. Looking up the history of July gives information that is consistent with March once having been the beginning of the year.
July is the seventh month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. Its length is 31 days. It was named by the Roman Senate in honour of Roman general and statesman Julius Caesar in 44 B.C., being the month of his birth. Before then it was called Quintilis, being the fifth month of the calendar that started with March.[1]July is the seventh month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. Its length is 31 days. It was named by the Roman Senate in honour of Roman general and statesman Julius Caesar in 44 B.C., being the month of his birth. Before then it was called Quintilis, being the fifth month of the calendar that started with March.[1]
This could point to the the beginning of the Roman year being similar to that of the Persians in ancient times.

Religious observances
[...]
The month of Martius was named for the god Mars, whose "birthday" was celebrated on the first, but the Ides of each month were sacred to Jupiter, the Romans' supreme deity. The Flamen Dialis, Jupiter's high priest, led the "Ides sheep" (ovis Idulis) in procession along the Via Sacra to the arx, where it was sacrificed.[5]
Reading the above story about Jupiter being celebrated each month at Ides with sheep being sacrificed, one is reminded of a phase in the incredible life of
Julius Caesar, when he was Flamen Dialis and a priest of Jupiter.
Caesar's father did not seek a consulship during the domination of Lucius Cornelius Cinna and instead chose retirement.[9] During Cinna's dominance, Caesar was named as flamen Dialis (a priest of Jupiter) which led to his marriage to Cinna's daughter, Cornelia. The religious taboos of the priesthood would have forced Caesar to forgo a political career; the appointment – one of the highest non-political honours – indicates that there were few expectations of a major career for Caesar.[10] In early 84 BC, Caesar's father died suddenly.[11] After Sulla's victory in the civil war (82 BC), Cinna's acta were annulled. Sulla consequently ordered Caesar to abdicate and divorce Cinna's daughter. Caesar refused, implicitly questioning the legitimacy of Sulla's annulment. Sulla may have put Caesar on the proscription lists, though scholars are mixed.[12] Caesar then went into hiding before his relatives and contacts among the Vestal Virgins were able to intercede on his behalf.[13] They then reached a compromise where Caesar would resign his priesthood but keep his wife and chattels; Sulla's alleged remark he saw "in [Caesar] many Mariuses"[14] is apocryphal.[15]
It is somewhat strange that Caesar was killed on the Ides of March when he himself had been the chief priest for the traditional religious events of this day.
The above description of Caesar and the tradition to sacrifice sheep around Ides, leads to the image of the
Lamb of God
Lamb of God (Greek: Ἀμνὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ, romanized: Amnòs toû Theoû; Latin: Agnus Dei, Ecclesiastical Latin: [ˈaɲ.ɲus ˈde.i]) is a title for Jesus that appears in the Gospel of John. It appears at John 1:29, where John the Baptist sees Jesus and exclaims, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world."[1] It appears again in John 1:36.
Christian doctrine holds that a divine Jesus chose to suffer crucifixion at Calvary to save the world from its sins. He was given up by divine Father, as an "agent and servant of God" in carrying away the sins of the world.[2][3] In Christian theology the Lamb of God is viewed as both foundational and integral to the message of Christianity.[4][5]
A symbol can be the carrier more than meaning. In an old post by Laura from the early 94-10-16 Session, found also on the main site of Cassiopaea.org there is:

A: Same.
Q: (L) “He exerts all the power and right of control as the former beast in his presence and causes the earth and those who dwell upon it to exalt and deify the beast whose deadly wound was healed and worship him…” Well, it seems to say that there is a second beast that is different from the first beast but you are saying that it is just another face of the beast…

Q: (L) “Then I looked and Lo! the lamb stood on Mount Zion and with him 144,000 men who had his name and his father’s name inscribed on their foreheads…” What does that mean?
A: ID. The Lamb is the Leadership council of the world bank. Many will think they are taking the “mark” of God when actually being marked by the Beast.

A: Disinformation. Intended to create fear and resistance so that the aliens can feed off of these emotions.
[...]
Symbols can have mixed meanings, and that includes the symbol of the lamb. In the session with Caesar, there was:
Session 12 July 2014
Q: (Atriedes) Do you mind if your memory and image is used in a religion?
A: As long as it is with understanding of the truth. What is religion anyway but that which binds people together as is showed with my army.
Indeed!
I wonder if Julius Caesar had direct contact with undergrounders without even knowing it.
