Reforming the lunar-based Roman calendar, the Julian calendar was solar-based and tied to the Earth's rotation around the sun. Proposed by Julius Ceasar, the Julian calendar was widely used throughout the Roman Empire and in Christian churches and gained dominance in Europe and European-sponsored settlements. While the Gregorian calendar was first introduced in 1582, the Julian calendar was maintained in some countries even through the 1930s. The Julian calendar is still used by the Russian Orthodox Church, the Berber people of North Africa, and on Mount Athos.
