The Revolutionary Calendar of France (or the Calendar of the French Republic) which was invented by Charles Gilbert is a calendar introduced during the French Revolution by the French government and was valid for 12 years, from the end of 1793 to 1805. The years were written in Roman literature (usually), And were counted from the "Revolutionary Period" beginning on September 22, 1792 (the day the First French Republic was proclaimed, a day after the abolition of the monarchy). The purpose of the new calendar was, among other things, to remove all religious and monarchical influences from the calendar, and to begin a new historical chapter from the time of the Revolution. The revolutionary calendar was abolished by Napoleon, in part to please the Catholic Church, which opposed the calendar because it abolished the first day of the week and all other days sacred to Christianity. Historical documents relating to the Revolution Count are extremely rare.
