September Septum 7th also

The early Roman calendar that the current calendar is based on only named ten months beginning with March, so September through December were numerically correct as the 8th through 10th months, the period of January and February came after December, and were named much later, and later still moved to the beginning as 1st and 2nd.

Jesus was likely resurrected even later than Easter due to month changes over time.

Jesus wasn't resurrected at all.

Though you're correct,

Most biblical dates are a tad ambiguous.

R-man still blocking me

Bucky Fuller thought that tho some belived the coins with God of Janus on each side meant two faced liar, Fuller thought it meant that some sea-peoples knew you could sail off in on direction go around the Earth/World to come back an meet yourself at same location.

..."Roman god of doorways, of beginnings
[ jey-nuhs ] show ipa. noun. an ancient Roman god of doorways, of beginnings, and of the rising and setting of the sun, usually represented as having one head with two bearded faces back to back, looking in opposite directions. Astronomy. "....

..." What represents Janus?
Janus represents the past and the future; he is the god of gates and doorways, the entry to new beginnings. The ancient Romans held feasts and offered sacrifices to Janus, promising more virtuous behavior in the hope of receiving favor in the new year. "...

..." What animal is associated with Janus?
The Double-Headed Eagle: The double-headed eagle symbolizes duality, representing the two faces of Janus looking in opposite directions. It signifies the dual nature of transitions and the ability to simultaneously look back to the past and forward to the future. "...

R-man still has me blocked.

Janus is ending and beginning < > two faced ergo,  Dec < Janus > Feb

..""" The original Roman year had 10 named months Martius "March", Aprilis "April", Maius "May", Junius "June", Quintilis "July", Sextilis "August", September "September", October "October", November "November", December "December",and probably two unnamed monthsin the dead of winter when not much happened in agriculture. "

..." Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome circa 700 BC,added the two months Januarius "January" and Februarius "February".He also moved the beginning of the year from Marius to Januarius and changed the number of days in several months to be odd, a lucky number. "...
