September 27th 2023
It’s day 270 and week 39 of 2023
September (from Latin septem, “seven”) was originally the seventh of ten months in the oldest known Roman calendar, the calendar of Romulus c. 750 BCE, with March (Latin Martius) the first month of the year until perhaps as late as 451 BCE. After the calendar reform that added January and February to the beginning of the year, September became the ninth month but retained its name. It had 29 days until the Julian reform, which added a day.
