𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎, 𝐍𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑

Welcome to the eleventh month of the year, although November wasn’t always so.

In the old Roman calendar, November was called mensis november, the ninth month, because the Roman calendar started in March. November initially had 29 days.

In 154 BCE, a rebellion forced the Roman senate to change the beginning of the civil year from March to January 1st. With this reform, November officially became the eleventh month in the year 153 BCE.

In 46 BCE, Julius Caesar introduced a new calendar system—the Julian calendar. He added ten days to the year and introduced the leap day. The new calendar expanded November to 30 days.

Hope this new month brings much to you all. Happy November, folks.
