Morning of september!

It all started with the Romans

We took over the modern calendar, or more precisely inherited it from the Romans, who originally had 10 months a year, and it started in March, which was logical for everyone then, because spring and the new cycle of nature's awakening began. The winter period was not treated very well and there were no months for that period.

Sve je počelo sa Rimljanima

Savremeni kalendar smo preuzeli, tačnije nasledili od Rimljana, koji su prvobitno imali 10 meseci u godini, a ona je počinjala u martu, što je tada svima i bilo logično, jer je počinjalo proleće i novi ciklus buđenja prirode. Zimski period se i nije baš nešto dobro tretirao i nisu postojali meseci za taj period.

Caesar introduces order into the Roman calendar

About 700 BC, a Roman ruler named Numa Pompilius decided to correct this gap in the year and added 2 months to the calendar. Admittedly, it was not yet a definitive calendar, as the number of days in the month had not yet been finally settled, so Numa added one month, for the winter, called Intercalaris, but it lasted only until Caesar, who introduced order in the Roman calendar and made it as we know it today. .

Cezar uvodi red u rimski kalendar

Otprilike 700 godina pre nove ere, rimski vladar po imenu Numa Pompilius je rešio da ispravi tu prazninu u godini i dodao je 2 meseca u kalendar. Doduše, još to nije bio definitvni kalendar, pošto broj dana u mesecu, još nije bio konačno sređen, pa je Numa dodao i jedan mesec, za zimski period, po imenu Intercalaris, ali to je potrajalo samo do Cezara, koji je uveo red u rimski kalendar i napravio ga ovakvim kakvim ga danas znamo.  .

How did the months get their names?

January: Januarius (Latin), named after Janus, the Roman god of entrances, thresholds, gates, gates, beginnings and ends. Janus has two faces, each on one side of his head, so he can keep track of the beginning and end of everything that is happening.
