Grand Master's Musings

August was named in honour of Octavius Caesar, the nephew of Julius Caesar, who became master of Rome and was named Emperor of the Senate. He ruled wisely and received the title of Augustus , which means “worthy of reverence.” From which the month of August receives its name.

September was the seventh month when the year was but ten months, before the
reforming of the calendar by Julius Caesar. Its name was taken from the Latin word
that means “seven.” After January and February were added its name was not
changed.
