What were July and August called before the Roman empire?

Answer 1

Quintilis (July) Sextilis (August)

There were only 10 months in the Early Roman calender and only 304 days. It was taken from the Greeks.

46 Bc is when Julius Cesar introduced the Julian Calender, which includes all 12 months and 365 days. It is the calender the most of us use today.

Answer 2

Where? Its not called July or August in some cultures still! The Roman Empire did not actually control all people. Slowly calendars changed. Often they weren't even based on the sun. Lunar calendars often overlap, rarely match solar calendars in days in months, never in names, so it depends on where and when?

Answer 3

there where no months in the Euro-mediterranean countries before the roman calender, they used the seasons, and the hours of the day. there where also no minutes or seconds used. the year varied from place to place also, the Romans just like to organize things , and they mad a calendar to fit there interpretation of time and seasons and ideas on how long a year was, they where not higly acurate, and made several adjustments over the centuries, and so has other nations as recent as the late 1700s for adjusting the ammount of days in each month. it all has to do with eaths rotations, the sun and moon and seasons and such, and those thing tend to vary over time, and that cuaes confusion . time is relative, there is no toime, there is no real time, or set time, it is all in man's desire to understand and control his enviroment, so who is to say what is wrong and write in that matter.

Answer 4

It depends on who is doing the calling. I assume you mean those in present day Italy. If you are an agenda driven "diversity "person however, you may mean what Gauls or Pics or Mongols or Nubians called /named the present day notion of months.
The precursor grouping in what is now Italy are presently referred to as Etruscans. Did they have astrologers who powerfully declared naming rights to the appearance of constellations? Did their priest/astrologers declare twelve units of time in one cycle?These are the questions. Etruscans had 10 months in a year and no July (Julio in Spanish) or August (Agustus)
