September (from Latin septem, “seven”) or mensis September was originally the seventh of ten months on the ancient Roman calendar that began with March (mensis Martius, “Mars‘ month”). It had 29 days. After the reforms that resulted in a 12-month year, September became the ninth month but retained its name. September followed what was originally Sextilis, the “sixth” month, renamed Augustus in honour of the first Roman emperor, and preceded October, the “eighth” month that like September retained its numerical name contrary to its position on the calendar. A day was added to September in the mid-40s BC as part of the Julian calendar reform.
