Well, it is of course possible that traditions are not based on facts, but also on legendary stories or people. Of course, this also applies to Numa Pompilius, the (alleged) reformer of the calendar.
As said, a written tradition can also make legends “true” to a certain extent (especially in the Middle Ages with limited or no access to comparative material).
