The original roman calendar also had 10 months, but they had 304 days in the year [..]
wot?
As far as can be found, the Romans were related to an etruscian moon-oriented calendar with 12 months and 354 days from their beginning, enhanced it to 355 and initially started at March 1st, but this all was reformed later by J. Caesar.
What kind of Wiki is this?
Some ancient roman authors and politicians made a mess with "10 months" but this is highly doubted as they may got confused with the shift of december -->12th month etc. Real mentionings of roman calenders happened in ~2nd century BC first, so the previous time remained in quite a darkness, which is not proving much.
About 5/10; this appears for both "Aberil" and "May" sheets, but I wouldn't try to deduct any meaning from that.
At all, the calendar version with 12 months and 355+ days came up at least 1,400 years before writing of VMS and was clearly a standard in Europe, several other cultures were even more exact with their calendars.
