I'm just gonna throw in the bit of historical trivia that the ancient (pre-Republic) Roman calendar *didn't have months* for January and February -- that whole time of year was just called "winter" ("hiems") and not worth keeping track of until the Kalends of Marchhttps://twitter.com/Hal_Duncan/status/1315751438673379336 …

The idea that "pagan Rome" literally banned men and women from marrying each other and having children is so amazingly ahistorical it almost dignifies it too much to even try to argue against it

It's funny because I went to Catholic school and they told us something very similar to this. I don't remember it being Rome or where it was that was supposed to have banned marriage but yeah that lady was probably pulling from something she was told as child.
