Files

  • years_corrected.csv: A simple lookup-table for "actual" and Varronian years which eliminates the "Dictator Years". It extends from the Varronian foundation year of 753 BCE to the last Roman emperor in 476 CE. It ignores any issues around the start of the year being later than January 1 in the early centuries of the Republic. It wouldn't be hard just to do the math for this, but a lookup table makes it easy.
  • dictators.R: Code to generate a histogram of count of dictators during the Republic.
  • temple construction.R: Code to generate a histogram of count of temple dedications during the Republic.
  • images: a folder for all the images generated by the scripts (could be I'll split this into multiple folders at some point)
