I wonder why the religiously neutral PC people who insist on BCE don't also object to:-
Tīwesdæg, Woden'sday, Thor'sday, Feyer'sday, Sætern(es)dæg
Janus-ary
Februa is the Roman festival of purification
Mars-ch
Aphro(dites)
Maia (meaning "the great one") is the Italic goddess of spring,
Juno is the principle goddess of the Roman Pantheon
Julius & Augustus - those men made into god (like Christ)
Strange how the Christians lived for several millennia using Roman, Greek and Norse gods, but the PC crowd can't suffer one Judaeo-Christian one!
Oh the grand oh Duke Suetonius, he had a Roman legion, he galloped rushed down to (a minor settlement called) Londinium then he galloped rushed back again. Londinium Bridge is falling down, falling down ... HOLD IT ... change of plans, we're leaving the bridge for Boudica and galloping rushing north.
