Roman names for months were much the same as ours. The full list is:-

JANUARIUS, FEBRUARIUS, MARTIUS, APRILIS, MAIUS, JUNIUS, JULIUS, AUGUSTUS, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER.

or as they are more correctly written as Romans did not have a 'J' or a 'U' in their alphabet

IANVARIVS, FEBRVARIVS, MARTIVS, APRILIS, MAIVS, IVNIVS, IVLIVS, AVGVSTVS, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER.

Fortunately the Romans abbreviated them and you can safely use the first three letters followed by a stop, except that Mart. and Sept. is more usually used.
