 The '''New Byzantine Calendar''' was a calendar used by more than one race, including some [[human]]s and [[Hath]]. Dates were written as a four-digit year, a two-digit month and a two-digit day. For example, [[24 July]] 6012 would be written as "60120724". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Daughter]]'')

-It is unclear exactly when the New Byzantine Calender was in use - whether it was just a different version of writing dates (so, the [[61st century]]) or an entirely new dating system. A [[New Roman Empire]] was mentioned to exist in the year [[12005]] in ''[[The End of the World (TV story)|The End of the World]]'', but other than the name (the Byzantine Empire was the name given to the Eastern Roman Empire in the real world by Western historians and was itself a successor state to the Empire headed in Rome) there is little to connect them. Another possible origin might be the city of [[New Byzantium]] mentioned in ''[[Shadowmind]]''. This could suggest there was a "New Byzantine Empire", that had succeeded the New Roman Empire.
