In 8 BC, the Roman senate passed a resolution renaming the month of Sextillis to August to honor the emperor Augustus.

Fast forward several centuries and August had a permanent place on the calendar.
With that, prepare yourself for the August installment of Questions and Answers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
