In 1583, Joseph Justus Scaliger introduced the Julian Period of 7980 years, which is the basis of the Julian Day system of counting days sequentially from 1 January 4713 BC. It is not commonly known how this date was chosen as the origin of the system. This paper formulates the problem as an application of the theory of congruences and the Chinese Remainder Theorem. Scaliger’s interesting original solution to the problem is also reviewed.
