December was once the 10th and final month of the year on the early Roman calendar.
The ancient Roman calendar that was in use for about 40 years of the 8th century B.C. did not have a name for the time between December and Martius (March). Therefore December, which means tenth month in Latin, was the tenth month of the year at that time.
November in the early Roman calendar was the 9th month and December was the 10th and final month of the year. It was Julius Caesar who introduced another two months to the calendar year which became known as the Julian calendar.
