A lot of decisions which still impact our lives today were made back in Rome. Including our calendar. Do you know what out of the twelve months of the year, two were added by the Romans and named after famous leaders?
July – Julius Caesar
August – Augustus Caesar.
You have to be pretty important to get a month named after you!
This is what the calendar looked like BEFORE those two months were added. Notice anything?
