    Yes, but in Roman numerals, not Arabic (MLXVI). The Gregorian calendar was 6 days ahead due to not having leap years yet. The date format wouldn’t matter since it’s just a year being listed.

        Perhaps, but we could have at least added the new months to the end so the names still made sense. Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec (7, 8, 9, 10) are the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th months of the year??
