Nones of September
Month: September
The Nones was originally the first Quarter Moon (half of a moon, a quarter of the lunar cycle) of the
month in the early Roman lunar calendar. The Latin word nones meaning “ninth”. When counting days,
the Romans included both the start and end day (in the modern West we skip the start day). Using the
Roman counting system, there were always nine days (eight using modern counting) between the Nones
and the Ids of any month. The actual average time from the lunar First Quarter to the lunar Full Moon is
about 7.4 days, but the Romans rounded up. The Nones occurred on the seventh day of March, May,
July, and October, and on the fifth day of all other months.
The Roman month of September is named for septem, because it was originally the seventh month of
the Roman solar year September was sacred to Vulcan (Vvlcan), Roman God of fire.
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, September (the seventh 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,
September 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),
September 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, resulting in the modern Western calendar. The modern Gregorian Calendar,
named for Roman Catholic Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, was a realignment in 1582.
