I advanced less than I intended yesterday. However, I did solve the Olympiad matter in the chronology, it's finally there, and I had a little detour about the Dionysius* hypothesis on the foundation of Rome, but I stuck with the one I had, the foundation on the 3rd year of the 7th Olympiad.

I'd also like Greek and Roman statue emojis. Venus of Melos, discobulus, Caesar's bust...

Caesar (or whoever made his calendar) was bright in putting two months between December and March, but they should have renamed the last five months, because 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 became 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 but kept their names of 6 (Sextilis)*, 7 (September), 8 (October), 9 (Nouember) and 10 (December)... 🤔

*somewhat long after, Sextilis was named Augustus, after the Caesar Octauianus, but it remained Sextilis for maybe half a generation
