Months of the Year
Calendar
o The Roman calendar (pre-Julian calendar) was created in 753 BCE by Romulus
o The calendar started the year in Martius
o The winter season was not assigned to any month, so the calendar year only lasted 304 days with 61
days unaccounted for in the winter.
o Numa Pompilius reformed the calendar in 700 BCE – added the months of Ianuarius and Februarius
o The month Quintilis was renamed July in honor of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE and Sextilis was renamed
August in honor of Augustus in 8 BCE.
o The new Julian months were formed by adding ten days to the pre-Julian Roman year of 355 days,
creating a Julian year of 365 days
o The Julian calendar introduced the Leap Year every 4 years.
o At the time, Leap Day was February 24, because February was the last month of the year.

The Roman calendar had a different system for numbering the days of the month.
Kalends signify the start of the new moon cycle and was always the first day of the month.
Nones were the 5th or 7th day of the month.
Ides occurred on the 15th day of March, May, July, and October, and the 13th day of the other months.
They are thought to have been the days of the full moon.
Each day was referred to by how many days it fell before the Kalends, Nones or Ides.
For example, March 11 would be known as “Five days before the Ides” to the Romans because it is four
days before the Ides of March (March 15)
diēs fastī – days where legal transactions and sacrifices to the gods cold be made
diēs nefastī / diēs feriae – days where no legal translations could be made, these days were often
dedicated to one of the gods, the state typically hosted gladiator games, plays or other large
entertainment events
