THE CELTIC CALENDAR OF COLIGNY

The movement of the stars, the immensity of the universe, the size of the earth, the nature of things, the power and strength of the immortal gods—such are the topics of [the Druids’] conversations, which they transmit to their children. — Julius Cæsar, The Gallic War.

The Coligny Calendar (Calendrier de Coligny) was a Gallic or Celtic calendar inscribed on a large bronze tablet (150 x 80 cm) in the Roman province of Gaul in the 2nd century AD. The surviving 73 fragments, constituting 2/5 of the original tablet, were discovered in 1897 in Coligny, on the path of the Roman road from Lugdunum (Lyon) to Argentotatum (Strasbourg). A large bronze statue of a male deity was found with the tablet. The original locations of the tablet and statue are unknown. The tablet may have been destroyed by Romans as part of a general suppression of Druidic culture.

The language of the calendar is Gallic or Celtic, but composed in Latin characters. It is the longest Gallo-Celtic text to survive, although only distinct 60 words are used.

The calendar, which attempts to reconcile the lunar and solar years, records the succession of 62 months over a five-year indiction comprising 1831 days. The place of each day within the cycle was marked on the calendar by placing a wooden peg in the hole next to that date. According to the abstruse astronomy of the Celts, days are parceled out in groups of 15 (not weeks); there are 14 months of either 29 or 30 days; and centuries last 30 years. To keep the calendar aligned with the seasons, an intercalary month was added every 30 months. The Coligny calendar is generic, mentioning no holidays, feast days or religious festivals. Philological evidence suggests the calendar was derived from several much older sources.
