What calendar did Romans use?
The Romans had three calendars in the ocurse of their history. The first calendar was the calendar of Romulus, the first king of Rome. It had only ten months. The second calendar was the calendar of Numa, named after Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, who added two months, bringing it to 12 months. Both of these calendars were lunar.

This month was named after Augustus. September, October, November and December mean 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th month (In Latin septem is 7, octo is 8, novem is 9 and decem is 10).

Why is the calendar divided into 12 months?
Because Our calendar is a product of long evolution from a hunting society to an agricultural society. The hunters originally used a lunar calendar--new month each new moon. But new moons occur every 29.5 days, which is 12 in 355 days. This is not commensurable with a seasonal calendar such as agricultural societies would want. Ancient Rome tried to fix this by having a 13th month every third year. This did not work out too well, because the head priests played games, calling for an extra month whenever people they liked were elected to head the government (2 year terms). Julius Caesar hired an ethnic Greek from Alexandria Egypt, Sosigenes, to create the 365 day calendar with an extra day every fourth year.12 month calendars are favored because business works on a quarter system.
