King Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, is responsible for adding January and February to the Roman calendar. He did this so calendars would be equivalent to a lunar year. Even so, it only had 30 days.
There are 173 January National Days to celebrate during the year’s first month. In the northern hemisphere, January is the second month of winter. January is named after Janus, the Roman god of beginnings. Initially, the Roman calendar had only ten months, excluding January and February.
Finally, Julius Caesar added the 31st day to the month and completed it to the whole month of January!
