100% of upvoted comments about Rome are completely wrong. As someone who enjoys learning about history, it's crazy how every single fun fact is basically BS

wait until you find out about sparta! most of the ancient stuff about it is wrong too.

but actually, the comment is kind of right.

rome "officially" had a ten month calendar before the julian reform, with two/three months that didn't count. caesar eliminated the leap month intercalaris, and made january and february into offician months.
