The Roman month of Sextilis is named for sex or sext, because it was originally the sixth month of
the Roman solar year. In 8 BCE, the Roman Senate renamed the month Augustus (August), for then
Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar. August was sacred to Ceres, Roman Goddess of grain.
The earliest Roman months were lunar. According to Roman mythology, the ten month solar calendar
aligned to the vernal equinox was introduced by Romulus, the founder of Rome, around 753 BCE. In
Romulus’ calendar, Sextilis (the sixth month) had 30 days. Numa Pompilius, the second of the seven
traditional kings of Rome, added two more months, for a 12 month year. In Numa’s calendar, Sextilis
had 29 days. Gaius Julius Caesar, as Pontifex Maximus (supreme bridge-builder, a religious title),
reorganized the calendar on the first day of 45 BCE. In Caesar’s calendar (the Julian Calendar), Sextilis
had 30 days. Caesar’s calendar was calculated by Sosigenes, an Egyptian astrologer/astronomer. In 8
BCE, Augustus Caesar fixed errors by pontiffs after Julius’ death and made other minor modifications
(including expanding August to 31 days), resulting in the modern Western calendar. The Roman Senate
changed the name of the month Sextilis to Augustus (August) in honor of the Roman Emperor
Augustus Caesar. The modern Gregorian Calendar, named for Roman Catholic Pope Gregory the
Thirteenth, was a realignment in 1582.
