I'm not sure this is correct; July and August were renamed, yes, but not inserted. They did steal days from February, which was originally the last month of the Roman calendar.
- omarhaneef 7y agoAh yes, you are correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_calendar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_calendar So Jan and Feb were inserted. I have to leave the original up as it is because the joke is too good, but I will leave this note as a correction.
- QuercusMax 7y agoIt's not so much "inserted", as they just changed which month they considered the first. The roman first month was March, but it still took place in the spring.
- TheCoelacanth 7y agoThey were inserted. Previously the months ran from March to December and the remaining time didn't belong to any month.
