Yeah that part didn't make sense... If they proposed a 13 months, 28 days/month calendar or one without months then ok, but the Julian calendar is just the Gregorian calendar shifted 13 days...

    I'd like to give some context here: the julian calendar is the older one that doesn't take into account that leap years are more complicated that just every fourth year. It was still a good idea to standardize the calendar. Before that, the months were shorter and the Senate decided were to put arbitrary days to make it fit
