The year 45 BC was a very important year in ancient Roman history. It was the first year that followed the new Julian calendar, which was created by Julius Caesar. This calendar helped make sure the year had the correct number of days. At the time, people called it the Year of the Consulship of Caesar without Colleague. This meant Julius Caesar was the most powerful leader, and he was in charge all by himself.
