1. In the original Roman calendar the month of August was called Sextilis because it was the sixth month of the year. Later, January and February were added to the calendar, and it became the eighth month. Originally the month had 29 days but when Julius Caesar created the Julian calendar in 45 BC, two days were added giving the month 31 days. The month was later renamed Augustus in honor of the first emperor of Rome, Caesar Augustus.
