28
the romans did not follow the usual greek practice in alternating 29- and 30-day months and a 29- or 30-day intercalary month every other year. instead, their 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 10th months had 31 days each; all the other months had 29 days except february, which had 28 days for three years and then 29 every fourth year. the total of these months over a 4-year span differed from the greeks by 5 days, meaning the roman intercalary month always had 27 days. similarly, within each month, the weeks did not vary in the greek fashion between 7 and 8 days; instead, the full months had two additional days in their first week and the other three weeks of every month ran for 8 days ("nine" by roman reckoning). still more unusually, the intercalary month was not placed at the end of the year but "within" the month of february after the terminalia on the 23rd (""); the remaining days of february followed its completion. this seems to have arisen from roman superstitions concerning the numbering and order of the months. the arrangement of the roman calendar similarly seems to have arisen from pythagorean superstitions concerning the luckiness of odd numbers.
