Dear editors,

a comment in the source code says, you don't know, if Nero's birth date is
given in Julian or Gregorian calendar. So please don't state it as a fact which
might be taken over by others. Otherwise we come to the age of internet
falsedom, a growing weed where something written from an "authority" is taken
as the truth without checking properly. Facebook or Twitter would be fine for
that.

Say either: if it would be Julian, it would be like that in Gregorian, or if it
would be in Gregorian, it would be like that in Julian. So go both ways and you
might find someone in the history department, who can put it right for the next
edition.

Or use the emperor "Nelix from Galactix" as an obvious fiction figure and make
up a birth date in the Julian calendar and translate it into Gregorian.

Yeah, I know it might not be a big thing, but I also count the peas that I put
into my soup. ;-)
