However, all historical evidence refutes Sacrobosco, including dual dates with the Alexandrian calendar.
•
The 13th century scholar Sacrobosco claimed that in the Julian calendar February had 30 days in leap years between 45 BC and 8 BC, when Augustus allegedly shortened February by one day to give that day to the month of August named after him so that it had the same length as the month of July named after his adoptive father Julius Caesar.

Although many sources erroneously state that 30-day months were used in the Soviet Union for part or all of the period 1929–1940, in fact the Soviet calendar with 5- and 6-day weeks was only used for assigning workdays and days of rest in factories.
However, because not all months have the same number of days, this doesn't always work – for example, six months after an August 30 birthday would be February 30, which doesn't exist in the Gregorian calendar.
