  Julian \Jul"ian\ (?; 277) a. [L. Julianus, fr. Julius. Cf.
     {July}, {Gillian}.]
     Relating to, or derived from, Julius Caesar.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     {Julian calendar}, the calendar as adjusted by Julius Caesar,


        in which the year was made to consist of 365 days, each
        fourth year having 366 days.
  
     {Julian epoch}, the epoch of the commencement of the Julian
        calendar, or 46 b. c.
  
     {Julian period}, a chronological period of 7,980 years,
        combining the solar, lunar, and indiction cycles (28 x 19
        x 15 = 7,980), being reckoned from the year 4713 B. C.,
        when the first years of these several cycles would
        coincide, so that if any year of the period be divided by
        28, 19, or 15, the remainder will be the year of the
        corresponding cycle. The Julian period was proposed by
        Scaliger, to remove or avoid ambiguities in chronological
        dates, and was so named because composed of Julian years.
        
  
     {Julian year}, the year of 365 days, 6 hours, adopted in the
        Julian calendar, and in use until superseded by the
        Gregorian year, as established in the reformed or
        Gregorian calendar.
        [1913 Webster]
