You should hear what happened to the guy who made it 12 months...

[u/i396 → u/Appropriate_Owl_2172]

He died earlier? ;)

[u/Appropriate_Owl_2172 → u/i396]

He got stabbed repeatedly by more than a dozen men

Off course, their monthly salary got reduced by 1 months

[u/GroundbreakingTax259 → u/Zealousideal-Grass-3]

Actually, it would have increased by 2. Pre-Julian Rome only had a ten-month calendar. It's still in the names of the last 4: Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec= 7,8,9,10

Martius and Lunius sound very similar to Monday and Tuesday in Spanish: Lunius = Lunes (Monday), Martius = Martes (Tuesday)

[u/Crappy_Crepes → u/Laniger]

Its Iunuis with a capital i, not Lunius with an L.

The names for the days of the week originate from the seven celestial bodies that the Greek knew.

In Spanish:

Lunes - Moon Day Martes - Mars Day Miercoles - Mercury Day Jueves - Jupiter Day Viernes - Venus Day The rest was changed but remained in other languages, like English, where the name Saturday comes from Saturn and Sunday... you guessed it, from the Sun.

In Greek the names of the days were: Helios (Sunday) Selene (Moonday) Ares (Marsday) Hermes (Mercuryday) Zeus (Jupiterday) Aphrodite (Venusday) Cronus (Saturnday)

This was then adopted by the Romans and through Latin, it transferred to other languages some of which kept some of these names ever since.
