Technically, October, November and December should be the 8th, 9th and 10th months of the year, since octo=8, novem =9 , and decem=10 in Latin. The the Roman calendar once began in March, but when January and February were added to the front, the names stayed the same.
A more natural system would be based on a 28-day cycle, which aligns closely with the moon’s phases (about 29.5 days) and the average menstrual cycle (28 days). 13 months x28 days= 364 days, which is exactly 52 weeks, 13 moons, and 13 periods p/a. To stay aligned with the solar year of about 365¼ days, we would add 1 extra day yearly, and an additional day every leap year.
