they were until Julius and Augustus Caesar created July and August

-
Then why was July originally Quintilis? And August Sextilis? As in they were the fifth and sixth months.
-
They renamed them
-
Yes yes that they were renamed is my whole point as in neither Caesar created them. January and February were the new months added to the Roman 10 month calendar.
-
Do you know the reasoning behind January’s name?
-
Named from the god of beginnings
-
Indeed, Janus the god of duality, gates, and passages among others
-
From Janus who had two faces. One looking forward and one back.
