The first month of the Roman calendar was March (the first season was spring).

January, the first month in the year, was named after the Roman God Janus.
February became the second month of the year around 450 BCE, although it was originally the last month of the year in the old Roman calendar.
In ancient Rome, March was considered the first month of the year primarily because it marked the beginning of the military campaigning season. Named after Mars, the Roman god of war, it symbolized renewal and new beginnings. The calendar was initially lunar, and with the Roman Senate later adopting January as the start of the year in 153 BCE, March retained its significance as the first month in various contexts, particularly in relation to agriculture and military activities.
October once was the 8th month of the Roman year which had only 10 months until Julius Caesar changed it to a 12 month year which became known as the Julian calendar.

November was once the ninth month of the Roman year but Julius Caesar introduced an extra two months into the Roman calendar which then made November the eleventh month of the year. The month of July is named after Julius Caesar.
