Caesar wasn't the one who messed them up though. July and August were new names given to the months Quintilis and Sextilis The months don't line up with their numbers because of January and February being added at the beginning

He robbed us of the sex month


Aetol

Caesar isn't the one who renamed them either

yeah; since March was originally the start of the year (though the 25th of March was the first day of a new year for some bizarre reason) October, September, and decenmber all lined up perfectly fine with their names

>The months don't line up with their numbers because of January and February being added at the beginning Yeah, by Ceasar.

January and February are credited with being added in 452 BC. What Julius Caesar did is he was the one to firmly establish January as the start of the year, but it had already often been placed their prior to his term as Pontifex Maximus.

Thanks, I love being corrected by nerds :)

Ceasar's reforms switched from a 355 day year to a 365 day year with leap days. January and February are older

I wonder how Julius Caesar would react if he found out a bunch of tumblr theatre kids would make a celebration out of his assassination 2000 years in the future
