Hey Sam! Just a request - I've seen a lot of posts musing on how the Ides of March is now an extended Tumblr Festival. Which I find humorous because of the way the Romans described their days in the first place. However I am pretty terrible at explaining counting things (it's a brain deal), so could you expand on the ante diem and pridie countdown for the uninitiated, please?

Oh man Anon, you are asking me to grasp backwards twenty years for this knowledge :D

The Romans couldn't do anything the easy way, so their method of assigning dates in a month was what I would refer to as "real fucked up". Mind you, I'm sure if I grew up doing it, I'd be fine with it. Basically they marked certain phases of the moon (Kalends, Nona, and Ides) and counted down the days to each as a way of marking dates. I never mastered the exact timing of it all but there's a pretty good description here.

So instead of saying "March tenth" they'd say ante diem V Idus Martius or "Five days before the Ides of March". The day after the Ides was however-many-days until the Kalends, and so forth (et cetera!).

Pridie just refers to the day directly before one of the three, at least as far as I recall. So yesterday was ante diem II Idies Martius, but today would not be ante diem I ides Martius, it would be pridie ides Martius.

So like, Felices Pridie Ides Martius, happy Ides Eve. Don't forget to throw a note over the courtyard wall informing Brutus that the masses support him.

(Also not to be crass and capitalist but I wrote an erotic gay novella about the assassination of Julius Caesar if you guys like gay sex and descriptions of weird Roman food.)

eve update!!

hello.. im now 19 years old and in my 4th semester of college. ive been recovering from my suicide attempt (from march) and i think i want to thank you all for showing me support for my past artworks.

from time and time again, i come back to everyones words on here and it makes me smile to see how many of you find my art to be relatable. ive always wanted to create something that helps others to know that.. theyre not alone in this world (am i even making sense haha) and id like to think that ive achieved that.. even if its just a little bit.

im going through a rough patch again but im finding myself still kicking. i want to be alive so i will fight for it again and again. with a few vent art here and there.. maybe. i missed drawing on here so hello! i hope i'll be able to draw something soon again.. even if its not heard by anyone. ill be happy just being able to leave my mark on this world teehee...
