Missing Constellations in VM Zodiac

[Koen G]

Plutarch wrote in the first century AD about a mythical calendar reform that happened between two mythical figures in the 8th century BCE. That is because he was trying to explain why months like December don't match up with their expected number. In fact, this was simply because the Roman senate had changed the start of the year to January in 153 BCE, information Plutarch apparently didn't know or trust.

The number of website presenting the Romulus story as truth is shocking though.

Edit: Macrobius wrote even later, in the 5th century AD. This was 600 years after the Roman senate had caused month etymology confusion by changing when the new year started.
