So, what would somebody say the year was if they were asked at that point?

[–] Toes@ani.social 53 points 4 months ago

A universal calendar hasn't been established yet so it would depend on where you are.

For example today in 59 BC under the Athenian calendar would be 17 of Thargelion, Ol.180.1

Pretty sure they would respond, "Get away from me, demon! Stop talking in tongues!"
