A Correct answer
Explanation

The original Roman calendar, attributed to Romulus, had only 10 months totaling 304 days. March was the first month. January and February were later added by Numa Pompilius around 713 BC, making it a 12-month lunar year. The names September, October, November, December (7th, 8th, 9th, 10th months) reflect this original 10-month structure.
