The Byzantine Clock That Counts from Creation
A live clock presents the current moment in the Byzantine Creation era, alongside Julian and Gregorian dates and the Constantinopolitan indiction.
Field notes
The clock derives several calendar views from the current instant rather than merely formatting a date: its documented payload includes Byzantine year and day-of-year data, Julian and Gregorian fields, year boundaries, and the Constantinopolitan indiction. The machine-readable endpoint is versioned at 1.1.0, exposes a JSON Schema, and accepts a UTC parameter. The page also documents an iframe embed, making the historical clock usable as a small component rather than only a standalone curiosity.
