Nones (Nonae, -arum, f. pl.) usually fell on the 5th of the month.
Ides (Idus, Iduum, f. pl.) usually fell on the 13th of the month.

But in March, May, July, and October, the Nones were on the 7th and the Ides were on the 15th. Note that all of these months have 31 days.

Actual dates were expressed in the following ways:

  1. The ablative of time when indicates that the date coincides with one of the special days:

Kalendis Aprilibus = on April 1
Nonis Februariis = on February 5
Idibus Martiis = on March 15
Eo die = on that day

  1. The word pridie + accusative indicates the day before one of the special days:

Pridie Kalendas Maias (lit. = on the day before May 1), on April 30
Pridie Idus Octobres = on October 14

  1. A phrase beginning ante diem (a.d.) is used to express all other dates:

Ante diem iv Kalendas Decembres (lit. = on the fourth day before December 1), on November 28. (When calculating, you should include the special day and count backwards, e.g., Dec 1, Nov 30, Nov 29, Nov 28.)

Ante diem viii Idus Martias (lit. = on the eighth day before the Ides of March), on March 8.

Here are the Latin names for the months, expressed as adjectives:
Ianuarius, -a, -um
Februarius, -a, -um
Martius, -a, -um
Aprilis, -is, -e
Maius, -a, -um
Iunius, -a, -um
Iulius, -a, -um
Augustus, -a, -um
September, Septembris, Septembre
October, Octobris, Octobre
November, Novembris, Novembre
December, Decembris, Decembre

  1. The Romans designated years by the names of the consuls, the chief Roman magistrates, who were elected annually. The ablative case is used: Antonio et Cicerone consulibus = 63 B.C.

Consul, consulis, m. = consul

  1. They also designated years by counting from the foundation of Rome, which was set at a year corresponding to 753 B.C. These dates were expressed with the initials A.U.C. (ab urbe condita = from the foundation of the city)

Condo, condere, condidi, conditus = to found

The ablative of time indicates when time occurs.
All the dates of the month you are learning are adjectives.
If anything is happening on the special dates, you use an ablative of time.
AD = Anno Domini
ad = ante diem

To convert a Roman year to our system, follow these rules:

  1. If the A.U.C. date is 753 or less, subtract it from 754 and you will obtain a B.C. date.
  2. If the A.U.C. date is 754 or greater, subtract 753 from it and you will obtain an A.D. date.

Examples:

691 A.U.C. (less than 753)
754 - 691 = 63 B.C. (the year of Cicero’s consulship)

CE = Common era
BCE = Before the common era
BC = Before christ
AD = Anno Domini
Ab urbe condita (A.U.B.)
April 21, 753 BC = When Rome Was Founded
