Before the Julian and Gregorian eras, September was the seventh month on the Roman calendar. Septem means seven in Latin. At the time, there were just ten months. In 700 BC, Numa Pompilius added January and February to the calendar. This adjustment more correctly represented the length of a year on Earth. As a result, September became the ninth month in the calendar.
