Latin term

A.D. X KAL. IUN. ANNO DOMINI MMV

Latin to English Other Education / Pedagogy
From a degree certificate from Yale University.
I reckon this to be 23rd May 2005 but the client is querying this and I am wondering whether Yale uses a different system of dating in Latin? Help would be much appreciated!

The Romans counted inclusively (remember: no algebra, no zero). Think of Christ risen on the third day--we normally think Sunday is two days after Friday. You have to count BOTH June 1 and May 23.

Thank you, Richard!
agree Clifford Marcus : Yes, you're right. 23 May 2005 AD I just worked it out on my fingers before seeing your own suggestion... Pity they don't but the year in AUC then it would be a genuine Latin date...
