Historic time signature

Origin
The historic time signature, which is commonly abbreviated to h., has its origins in the fifth century Rimmo civilization. The philosophers of the country discussed twelve different solutions in the Diet of Dalus (422h.), after which the system of h. was adopted. The date of the time signature is tied to the discovery of the Fateful Potsherd, which contains the first written language.

Common Use
The h. format has become standard because of its early adoption by the trading nations and its constant use in history textbooks. As a result, it has become the standard scholarly format. It is useful mainly for its relationship to the written language, giving perspective to any date by referencing it to the method of its reference.

The obvious downside to the h. format is that it is difficult to reference dates before the written language. This is interesting because it shows the Rimmo focus on writing as being the ultimate form of communication. This is why, increasingly, ancient historians are using a form based on BD.
