As the years went by, the Romans realized they had to add or subtract days to sync itself with the seasons. So many days were out of sync that they even had to add a 27-day leap month called Mercedonius.
The confusion reached its peak in Julius Caesar's time, resulting in a year that was 445 days long(in 46 BCE). Caesar aligned it and that is what is being followed even today.
