拜占庭历

拜占庭历是一套拜占庭（东罗马）帝国与东正教会历史上使用过的历法，历史上被称作“自创世以来的罗马年（古希腊语：Ἔτη Γενέσεως Κόσμου κατὰ Ῥωμαίους）^[1]”或“创世年（古希腊语：Ἔτος Κτίσεως Κόσμου）”或“世界年（古希腊语：Ἔτος Κόσμου）”。东正教的普世牧首辖区于约公元691年至1728年^[2]，拜占庭帝国官方于988年-1453年，罗斯诸国于约988年-约1700年使用这套历法，其他受拜占庭影响较大的国家，如塞尔维亚、保加利亚历史上也曾使用这种历法。

这套历法与儒略历基本相同，主要区别有两点，一是以每年9月1日为新年第一天，纪年法则采用世界纪元，即以上帝创世的第一天为纪年之始。拜占庭宗教界以《旧约圣经》七十士译本中的记载为基础推算的上帝创世之年相当于公元前5509年，拜占庭历的第一年为前5509年9月1日-前5508年8月31日。
