Februarius, fully Mensis Februarius ("month of Februa"), was the shortest month of the Roman calendar from which the Julian and Gregorian month of February derived. It was eventually placed second in order, preceded by Ianuarius ("month of Janus", January) and followed by Martius ("month of Mars", March). In the oldest Roman calendar, which the Romans believed to have been instituted by their legendary founder Romulus, March was the first month, and the calendar year had only ten months in all. Ianuarius and Februarius were supposed to have been added by Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, originally at the end of the year. It is unclear when the Romans reset the course of the year so that January and February came first.

  • Der Februarius ist der Vorläufer des heutigen Monats Februar. Im römischen Kalender war er ursprünglich der Unterweltsmonat und lag im Amtsjahr an zwölfter Stelle. Seinen Namen hat er vom lateinischen Wort februare (sühnen, reinigen). Als man 153 v. Chr. den Jahresbeginn des Amtsjahres auf den 1. Januar verlegte, wurde Februarius zum zweiten Monat des Amtsjahres. Mit der Kalenderreform des Gaius Iulius Caesar wurde ab dem Jahr 45 v. Chr. in jedem Schaltjahr ein Zusatztag eingeschoben. (de)
  • Februarius (février) est le douzième et dernier mois du calendrier romain. D'après Ovide, ce mois était considéré comme un temps à risque par le passage entre la fin et le commencement de l'année. Cela impliquait des risques pour la communauté des vivants de contamination par contact avec l'Au-delà ; donc il fallait un mois de purification universelle annuelle et de renouveau : c'est le rituel de Februa (purification) ou Lupercales, du 13 au 15 février. Ce mois avait 28 jours (ou 29 jours tous les 4 ans). (fr)
