<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 26244396, member: 77413&quot;]I’m afraid Julius must be put in July, Augustus in August, and Octavius in October. I haven’t looked it up, but they renamed the months in their honor, and stoled days from February, so how could you put them anywhere else?</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, you could use the original latin names for each month.</p><p><br /></p><p>breakdown:</p><ul> <li><b><a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&amp;hl=en-us&amp;cs=0&amp;sca_esv=d2b9df46a597ed26&amp;sxsrf=AE3TifObBg7L19hhoRjS4ryXGW9HD9302w%3A1750275545600&amp;q=Julius+Caesar&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjUjenA3PuNAxX4lokEHaDAAQgQxccNegQIDhAB&amp;mstk=AUtExfC6rA7k5jEzs-qwrOpAYDXkN6iAieOgUCbE5scJCCOfWcKwMHAK6N454SbklaRHQ2NOtktzBN7N5l-WS7A2Ykm3Nt81OzBwPuCtE7RPNklARiymxc4heR59CMg7Gkh_OjtFwOpVgXDe4GUMDXjR4Y60pT7kWu3KwkaF4WE1Dn2jJBI&amp;csui=3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&amp;hl=en-us&amp;cs=0&amp;sca_esv=d2b9df46a597ed26&amp;sxsrf=AE3TifObBg7L19hhoRjS4ryXGW9HD9302w%3A1750275545600&amp;q=Julius+Caesar&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjUjenA3PuNAxX4lokEHaDAAQgQxccNegQIDhAB&amp;mstk=AUtExfC6rA7k5jEzs-qwrOpAYDXkN6iAieOgUCbE5scJCCOfWcKwMHAK6N454SbklaRHQ2NOtktzBN7N5l-WS7A2Ykm3Nt81OzBwPuCtE7RPNklARiymxc4heR59CMg7Gkh_OjtFwOpVgXDe4GUMDXjR4Y60pT7kWu3KwkaF4WE1Dn2jJBI&amp;csui=3" rel="nofollow">Julius Caesar</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&amp;hl=en-us&amp;cs=0&amp;sca_esv=d2b9df46a597ed26&amp;sxsrf=AE3TifObBg7L19hhoRjS4ryXGW9HD9302w%3A1750275545600&amp;q=Augustus&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjUjenA3PuNAxX4lokEHaDAAQgQxccNegQIDhAC&amp;mstk=AUtExfC6rA7k5jEzs-qwrOpAYDXkN6iAieOgUCbE5scJCCOfWcKwMHAK6N454SbklaRHQ2NOtktzBN7N5l-WS7A2Ykm3Nt81OzBwPuCtE7RPNklARiymxc4heR59CMg7Gkh_OjtFwOpVgXDe4GUMDXjR4Y60pT7kWu3KwkaF4WE1Dn2jJBI&amp;csui=3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&amp;hl=en-us&amp;cs=0&amp;sca_esv=d2b9df46a597ed26&amp;sxsrf=AE3TifObBg7L19hhoRjS4ryXGW9HD9302w%3A1750275545600&amp;q=Augustus&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjUjenA3PuNAxX4lokEHaDAAQgQxccNegQIDhAC&amp;mstk=AUtExfC6rA7k5jEzs-qwrOpAYDXkN6iAieOgUCbE5scJCCOfWcKwMHAK6N454SbklaRHQ2NOtktzBN7N5l-WS7A2Ykm3Nt81OzBwPuCtE7RPNklARiymxc4heR59CMg7Gkh_OjtFwOpVgXDe4GUMDXjR4Y60pT7kWu3KwkaF4WE1Dn2jJBI&amp;csui=3" rel="nofollow">Augustus</a>:</b><br /> Julius Caesar had the month of Quintilis renamed to July in his honor after his death.Subsequently, the month of Sextilis was renamed August after Augustus Caesar.</li> <li><b>Other Emperors:</b><ul> <li>Caligula renamed September as Germanicus after his father.</li> <li>Nero renamed April as Neroneus, May as Claudius, and June as Germanicus.</li> <li>Domitian renamed September as Germanicus and October as Domitianus.</li> <li>Commodus attempted to rename all the months after himself, but this change was not permanent.</li> </ul></li> <li><b>Why it wasn&#039;t consistent:</b><br /> Many of the month renamings by emperors were short-lived, with the original names eventually returning.
