Ugh, see my previous on this thread. The 12-month calendar featuring
the months numbered 5 or 6-10 starting from march predates Julius
Caesar by ~750 years. I don't know if the #5 was named numerically
before being renamed for Julius, but Augustus' was named for #6 until
the Senate honored him thus for correcting a misinterpretation of the
Julian calendar by which leap years were happening every 3 instead of
the 4 years Julius instructed.
Go look this stuff up! :)
