	In addition to the methods already mentioned about the
	Romans they also dated by consuls. Thus you would see a
	date like `in the year of the consulship of Joe Blow and
	Richard Roe'.

	The Greeks also had a dating system using the Olympics
	every 4 years so you would have `in the 3rd year of the
	27th Olympiad'.
