the thirteenth-century scholar johannes de sacrobosco claimed that in the julian calendar february had 30 days in leap years from 45 bc until 8 bc, when augustus allegedly shortened february by one day to give that day to the month of august named after him so that it had the same length as the month of july named after his adoptive father, julius caesar. however, all historical evidence refutes sacrobosco, including dual dates with the alexandrian calendar.
