The Romans had ten months in their year.
Their months were
* Martius (31 days) * Aprilis (30 days) * Maius (31 days) * Iunius (30 days) * Quintilis (31 days) * Sextilis (30 days) * September (30 days) * October (31 days) * November (30 days) and * December (30 days) Martius was named after their God of War - Mars
Aprilis was possibly named after Aphros - the Roman equivalent of the Greek Goddess Aphrodite
Maius was named from the Greek Goddess Maia
Junius is named after the Goddess Juno - wife of Jupiter.
All the other months are named after their numbers - Quintilis means fifth, Sextilis means sixth, and so on to December which was the tenth month.... the same root as the word decimal.
