Two Druids in Autun

    Caption: Two Druids in an 1719 engraving that was copied from a bas-relief found at Autun, France.

    This an imaginative portrait of Druids---nevertheless maybe it's NOT so far from the truth, mutatis mutandis.

    Perhaps they are debating whether or NOT to insert an intercalary month in their lunisolar calendar---if the Celts had that---the one on the left is holding a crescent moon---or is it a banana:

      "Look, Conri, the flowers are blossoming in September. We need 4 intercalary months before we start October."
      "Begorra, let's let it hang for another year, Taoiseach."

    And that's how it went in the good old days---calendrical chaos.
