sure it makes sense after all August named after Augustus Caesar and politicians have always wanted to place themselves as number 1 so I'd say either August or July named after Julius Caesar
My thinking precisely, but he eliminated July.

What was the first month of the ancient Roman Calendar
A) February
B) March
C) July
D)August
E) November
F) December
Too help out I've eliminated half of the 12 months.
Place your wager ( best guess ) here and see if you're a winner.
Happy Birthday to you if you were born in the correct month.

I would guess March since it is spring when new things grow.

If I'm recalling correctly from 5th (or was it 6th) grade world history, March is named after Mars, fhe Roman god of war.

For all who March was the correct answer to to today's trivia question give yourself a pat on the back.
I will however give the crown 👑 to DCGravity for going a step further and Stating that the month of March is named after the Roman God of War Mars.
Ancient Rome at the time of the naming of the months was the Julian Calendar implemented by Julius Caesar.
The calendar we use today was changed by Pope Gregory the 13th.
So stagers March is the correct 💯 answer.
