My specific piece of Roman culture in today's society is the months of September, October, November, and December. Just in case you can't see it, if you remove the "ber" of all of these months, then the Latin numbers 7, 8, 9, and 10 appear. In Latin, 7 is septem, 8 is octo, 9 is novem, and 10 is decem. I've personally hated these month names, because they always manage to confuse me. In my mind, when I hear the month September, I think of the 7th month, which is July, not the 9th month. I'm not a fan of the Latin numbers being in the months if their number is different to the month's number.
