The original Roman Calendar had 10 months named:
Martius (March - Mars - the God of War)
Aprilis (April - from Apirire - "to open" - probably a reference to buds opening in spring)
Maius (May - From Maiesta - the Roman goddess of honor and reverence)
Iunius (for iunores - young men - comes after May honoring older men)
(Later changed to honor Juno the wife of Jupiter and god of marriage)
Quintilius (5th month)
Sextilus (6th month)
September (7th month)
October (8th month)
November (9th month)
December (10th month)
This calendar lased about 305 days. There were 61 days of winter which were not assigned to a month.
Numa Polilius, around 713 BC, added January (named for Janus - the Roman god of beginning and endings) and February (probably from februa - the festival of purification).
Julius Caesar introduced the Julian calendar in 46 BC. In 44 BC he renamed Quintilus July after himself and in 8 BC Augustus took Sextilus to be August after himself.
The Julian Calendar remained in force throughout the west into the 20th century when the Gregorian calendar replaced it. The Julian calendar took a leap year every three years and so had trouble staying in sync with the seasons. The US founding fathers were born under the Julian calendar and this is why there is confusion about Washington's birth day (either Feb 11 or 22 depending on the calendar). Many orthodox religions still use the Julian calendar which is why they often celebrate Easter on a different day than the more popular, non-orthodox religions.

How many emperors did the roman empire have?
From Augustus (the first emperor) to the division of the Empire into Eastern and Western Empires in A.D. 395 there were 147 Roman Emperors, including 7 ruling the rebel Gallic empire and 2 leading the rebel British empire in defiance of central authority. After A.D.395 the Western Empire lasted until A.D476 under 23 emperors. The Eastern Empire lasted from A.D.395 to A.D.1453 under 94 emperors. From this you can see that the number of Roman emperors will be 147 if you count only the rulers of the United Roman Empire, or 9 fewer excluding rebel emperors, and many more if the Divided Empire totals of 23 and 94 more emperors are included.

Which government preceded did the roman republic pass on to future civilizations?
The phrasing is unclear. The form of government which preceded the Roman Republic was the Roman Monarchy. The Republic was followed by rule by emperors. However, the Republic did not pass this on to future civilisations because: 1) it was the collapse of the Republic, rather than some sort of handover; 2) no future civilisation tried to replicate Rome's period of rule by emperors or, for that matter, the Roman Monarchy.
