Known Improvements

• In the future the year should also be converted to AVC to consular years (much more difficult).
• All years should be given as CE, for dates that are BCE please make the year negative.

Known Bugs

• Doesn't check for dates that are past the maximum number of days in a month
• Doesn't check for dates below 1 and thus may fail
