In history, a dictator as cunning as Caesar, as much a genius, is rarely seen. And his political portrait is one of the few that endure. Even if the calendar changes, the month of July is still called by his name (Iulius). The name of his birth month became permanent. In Eastern languages, in Hebrew and Turkish, this month carries the name of the Underworld God, Tammuz. İlber Ortaylı
The Story of July and August
Julius Caesar orders the Egyptian astronomer Sosigenes to solve the calendar complexities. At that time, it was known that 1 year lasted 365 days and 6 hours.
Sosigenes finds the solution: EACH YEAR WILL HAVE 365 DAYS. 6 HOURS WILL BE ADDED FROM EACH YEAR. THE ACCUMULATED HOURS WILL BE ADDED TO THE CALENDAR EVERY 4 YEARS, AND THAT YEAR WILL BE 365 + 24 HOURS = 366 DAYS. Since 366 days cannot be divided into 12 equal parts, 6 months will have 30 days, and the other 6 months will have 31 days.
So how will the distribution be by months in years with 365 days? Caesar orders: IN YEARS WITH 365 DAYS, 1 DAY SHOULD BE DEDUCTED FROM THE LAST MONTH. At that time, New Year’s Day was in March, meaning February was the last month of the year. (September=7, October=8, November=9, December=10 also come from this). Thus, February became 30 days every 4 years, and 29 days in other years.
Caesar, not content with this, named one of the months after himself: JULIUS, i.e., JULY. Augustus, who later became emperor, did not want to be outdone by Caesar and named the next month after himself: AUGUSTUS, i.e., AUGUST.
But how could Julius Caesar’s month have 31 days while Augustus’s month had 30 days? He also ordered: TAKE 1 MORE DAY FROM THE LAST MONTH OF THE YEAR, AND MAKE MY MONTH 31 DAYS TOO. Poor February lost another day, which was added to August. Since that day, February has 29 days every 4 years, and 28 days in other years, while Caesar’s month July and Augustus’s month August both consecutively have 31 days.
