I doubt you've never seen this one before;

but I also doubt it's useless for you!. This should be getting you somewhere!.
The same goes for this one:

I'm assuming you mean the Julian calendar!.
Here's a picture of a calendar, it includes April:

just look at the top row and you will find "CK!.APR!.F" and everything below that is April!.
I don't precisely understand what you mean by "how they used" - they read it to keep track of the dates, which was useful for basically everything that includes setting a date or preparing for a festival on a certain date!. They also used it to record history properly!.
Here's one more picture, that shows the first days of the month of January and February:

I hope you'll be able to figure it out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I think the Roman Calender was called the Julian Calender!. That term might help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Do not think of a calendar so much as physical object but as an abstract concept!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
You should google Roman months instead!. Here are the months:
