August is the eighth month of the year between July and September. It has 31 days and in the Southern Hemisphere is the equivalent of February in the Northern Hemisphere. August was originally called Sextilis in the Roman calendar but was later renamed in honor of Augustus Caesar, who had several military triumphs during that month.

This month was originally named Sextilis in Latin, because it was the sixth month in the original tenmonth Roman calendar under Romulus in 753 BC, when March was the first month of the year. About
700 BC it became the eighth month when January and February were added to the year before March
by King Numa Pompilius, who also gave it 29 days. Julius Caesar added two days when he created
the Julian calendar in 45 BC giving it its modern length of 31 days. In 8 BC it was renamed in honor of
Augustus (despite common belief, he did not take a day from February; see the debunked theory on
month lengths). According to a Senatus consultum quoted by Macrobius, he chose this month
because it was the time of several of his great triumphs, including the conquest of Egypt
