The ancient Roman calendar had ten months, from March to December, six of thirty days and four of thirty-one days, giving a total of three hundred four, plus a winter period of sixty days during which no date was recorded .
According to tradition, the second king of Rome, Numa Pompilius, established in the eighth century BC C. the months of January and February.
January-Latin, Januarius, with thirty-one days, was created in homage to the god Janus, who ruled the entrances and beginnings, and became the first month of the year, moving to March, as the consuls elected in January.
