The original Roman new year began in March (Martius), not April. January and February were added later by King Numa Pompilius.
The idea of a 13-month calendar made up of 28-day months has a few major problems.
First, a full moon cycle takes about 29.5 days, so with 28-day months, the moon phases drift by about 1.5 days every month. That gap quickly adds up, causing new moons to fall on completely different dates throughout the year.
More importantly, 13 is a prime number, which makes it impossible to divide the year cleanly. Unlike 12, which splits perfectly into halves (6 months) or quarters (3 months), a 13-month calendar can't be divided evenly for financial quarters, taxes, or business seasons without cutting months into awkward fractions.

💜missy💜 :
the 13 month calendar 28 days in each month aligns with the moon that's what it was until a pope changed it as 13 was a bad omen he changed it to 12 the pagans celebrated new year on the 1st of April that's why we call it April fools but Ethiopia uses it still they celebrate there new yr in September and they will be in 2019

April Fools was brought around because 1st April was New Year and people would greet people with a ‘Happy New Year’… but when the calendars were changed they called people FOOLS who greeted people with a Happy New Year in April 🤨

They called it April fools because they changed it and the people that refused to go by the new 12 month year and continued to start the year in April was called April fools.
