Roman Months | The Roman year revolved around the agricultural calendar, so as the sowing period started in March, this was traditionally the start of the year.. In winter there was less activity in farming than in summers, so these months were not actually named. They were considered the dead months. It was not until later in the Roman empire that the whole of the year was standardised into the format we know and still use today. | January | = | Januarius | February | = | Februarius | March | = | Martius | April | = | Aprilis | May | = | Maius | June | = | Junius | July | = | Julius | August | = | Augustus | September | = | September | October | = | October | November | = | November | December | = | December | |
