Cleopatra to Ceasar while they have brunch on the temple terrace: Hey big C, do you see this group of white robed long bearded guys down there? Those are my quants who tell me precisely each year when to prepare the New Year ceremony. They are always right and the people seem to like the ceremony. Could be related to the water coming shortly after everytime, Ibut I don’t really know.
Ceasar: Hm.

(Later walks to the Gandalfs group and makes a deal with them to get them in contact with them with some celtic guys he heard about a few weeks before he started his trip and they started to tell a bit about what they do…)

Ceasar has inheritated the Roman calendar which started around the spring equinox but he never could really understand what’s so special about that, so he decided to let the calendar start at a day he defines. The talk with the bearded guys reveled some good idea without hopefully annoying other too much as he won’t change the existing months definition.
