<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 2881932, member: 88829&quot;]Okay, I think I get it.&nbsp; Not years of reign, but the number of the years touched by the reign. The count of the regnal year was not for the number of actual years of rule, but the number of &quot;calendar years&quot; it &quot;overlapped.&quot;&nbsp; If he became king in 241, then 241 was his first year, and when it became 242, his second regnal year began.&nbsp; So coronation two weeks before the new year celebration set &quot;year one,&quot;&nbsp; and two weeks after the same celebration, would put him in his second regnal year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for explaining that, Doug.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Did they count the years of tribunician power and consulship the same way?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
