Answer 2

Before today’s Gregorian calendar was adopted, the older Julian calendar was used. In the Julian calendar September through December were the seventh through tenth months. It wasn’t until 1582, by which time Caesar’s calendar had drifted a full 10 days off course, that Pope Gregory XIII (1502 - 1585) finally reformed the Julian calendar. The "new" Gregorian calendar, as we know it today, was not adopted uniformly across Europe until well into the 18th century. The Curious History of the Gregorian Calendar - Eleven days that never were. To correct the inaccuracies in the calendar there was the British Calendar Act of 1751. This declared the day after Wednesday, September 2nd, 1752 would be Thursday, September 14th, 1752.

Answer 3

September was the seventh month of the old calendar, and when it became the ninth the Romans did not bother to rename it.

Answer 5

In the old Roman calendar March (Martius) was month 1


Immediately after the Julian reform, the twelve months of the Roman calendar were named Ianuarius, Februarius, Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Iunius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November, and December, just as they were before the reform. Their lengths were set to their modern values. The old intercalary month, the Mensis Intercalaris, was abolished and replaced with a single intercalary day at the same point (i.e. five days before the end of Februarius). The first month of the year continued to be Ianuarius, as it had been since 153 BC.

The Romans later renamed months after Julius Caesar and Augustus, renaming Quintilis (originally, "the Fifth month", with March = month 1) as Iulius (July) in 44 BC and Sextilis ("Sixth month") as Augustus (August) in 8 BC. (Note that the letter J was not invented until the 16th century). Quintilis was renamed to honour Caesar because it was the month of his birth. According to a senatus consultum quoted by Macrobius, Sextilis was renamed to honour Augustus because several of the most significant events in his rise to power, culminating in the fall of Alexandria, fell in that month.

Answer 6

Those darned Romans screwed with our calendars ... putting in July ... for Julius Caesar, and August, for Augustus Caesar ... then September would be seventh, October eighth, November 9th, and December 10th ... how about that?!! :-)

Just don't ask me why January is not called Monember, February Biember, March Triember and so forth ... kings and dictators do whatever they want!
