    All covered in the link. The addition of January and February and later moving the new year from March to January is the reason Sept-Dec are no longer the seventh-tenth months. Not July and August, which were renamings, not additions.

    Edit: I suppose my first comment should have specified early Romans. The way I wrote it could be read as all those changes happening after the Romans.
