Jc3s5h added a comment. Documentation says dates are represented in conformance with ISO 8601, with a fixed 11 digits for the year. ISO 8601 requires that all dates be expressed in the Gregorian calendar. We have no format defined to store a Julian calendar date. Considering that the authors of ISO 8601 did a crappy job on some important points, I suspect the Wikidata community would do an even worse job if they tried to define a date format standard. (The current mess certainly supports my pessimism.)
