The Month of August

As you probably already know, the calendar we use in America and the one that is widely accepted worldwide has twelve months. In this format of the calendar, known as the Gregorian Calendar, August is the eighth month. However, it was not always this way. Although August has been the eighth month for quite some time now, the Ancient Romans did not have the same August experience as we have today.

Back in Ancient Rome, many things were different about August and the calendar in general. First of all, the calendar only had 10 months. This means that August was the sixth month out of a 10 month year. “But why were there only ten months” you may be asking? Well, simply because January and February did not exist. Since these were long and dreary winter months, the ancient Romans didn’t count them. The days dragged on until March 1 when the year truly began for them in spring.

However, around the year 450 BCE, this all changed. January and February were added. While this was all well and good, it didn’t bode well for the name the month of August had been given. You see, prior to this, the name of the month of August was “Sextillis.” This means “sixth month” in Latin. But, once August was moved to be the eighth month of the year, this name obviously was no longer a good fit. Therefore, in 8 BCE the name August was chosen to honor Augustus Caesar.

Finally, while today we know August to be a month of 31 days, this too was not always this case. Prior to 45 BCE, this month only had 29 days. That is, until Julius Caesar himself added two more days in order to give the month the 31 days we know and use today.
