August

August is the eighth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, and is the fifth of seven months with a length of 31 days. [1] Its zodiac sign is Leo and was originally named Sextilis in Latin because it was the 6th month in the original Roman calendar ten months under Romulus in 753 BC, with March being first month of the year. Around 700 BC, it became the eighth month when January and February were added to the year before March by King Numa Pompilius, who also gave it 29 days. Julius Caesar added two days when he created the Julian calendar in 46 BC (708 AUC), giving it a modern length of 31 days. In 8 BC, it was renamed in honor of Emperor Augustus
