We base the year 1 of our calendar with (I believe) the birth of Jesus. The Jewish calendar bases the year 1 with the creation of the world. The ancient people (Romans, Greeks, etc..) mostly lived before the birth of Jesus. So what calendar did these ancient people use and what did they base the year 1 as representing?

The legendary foundation of Rome by the Remus and Romulus twins is the reference to the roman calendar. Dates to 753 BC.
They used their own roman calendar, based on the greek, wich is mostly lunar, until came Julius Cesar who proclaimed a calendar reform and changed it's name to the Julius calendar, in 46 BC.
