In 1792, the French Legislative Assembly considered the calendar, something created by Pope Gregory XIII, with each day dedicated to one or several saints, and following irrational rules, with irregular months, seven-days weeks that weren't paired to the months, had to be reformed.
The Committee of Public Instruction formed a subcommittee, with mathematicians, astronomers and poets, to create a new calendar. The structure and rules of the calendar were defined by the politician Charles Gilbert Romme, with the poet Fabre d'Églantine inventing the names of the months.
