September (Roman Month)
September (from Latin ''septem'', "seven") or ''mensis September'' was originally the seventh of ten months on the ancient Roman calendar that began with March (''Martius (month), mensis Martius'', "Mars (mythology), Mars' month"). It had 29 days. After the reforms that resulted in a 12-month year, September became the ninth month, but retained its name. September followed what was originally Sextilis, the "sixth" month, renamed ''Augustus'' in honor of the first Roman emperor, and preceded October (Roman month), October, the "eighth" month that like September retained its numerical name contrary to its position on the calendar. A day was added to September in the mid-40s BC as part of the Julian calendar, Julian calendar reform. September has none of the archaic Roman festivals, festivals that are marked in large letters for other months on List of ancient Roman fasti, extant Roman ''fasti''.

Servian Constitution
The Servian constitution was one of the earliest forms of military and political organization used during The Roman Republic. Most of the reforms extended voting rights to certain groups, in particular to Rome's citizen-commoners (collectively, the ''plebeians'') who were minor landholders or otherwise landless citizens hitherto disqualified from voting by ancestry, status or ethnicity, as distinguished from the hereditary ''patricians''. The reforms thus redefined the fiscal and military obligations of all Roman citizens. The constitution introduced two elements into the Roman system of government: a census of every male citizen, in order to establish his wealth, tax liabilities, military obligation, and the weight of his vote; and the '' comitia centuriata'', an assembly with electoral, legislative and judicial powers.
