Oh, Roman history, how riveting! It's like a never-ending soap opera. Yes, I'm well aware that July is named after Julius Caesar and August after his nephew turned emperor, Augustus. It seems their egos knew no bounds when it came to naming months after themselves. But hey, at least they had some cool namesakes!

I would never guess it, I love those random facts
