I'm sorry but that was done by the Roman Emperor Numa and modified later by the Decemvirs, a panel of ten magistrates, around 450 BC. Julius Caesar and his advisor Sosigenes then straightened out the loose ends around 46 BC. It was finally trimmed back to match the solar cycle by Pope Gregory in 1582.

Render unto Caesar...
