The Roman calendar is the ancestor of our modern calendar. Some of its features are still in use today.
The 7-day week is the international standard week (ISO 8601) used by the majority of the world.
Starts Monday or Sunday
Almost all countries in North and South America start their week on Sunday. Countries in Europe and Oceania overwhelmingly start on Monday. The world’s most populated continents are split: roughly half the countries in Africa and Asia are on team Sunday, the other on team Monday. See it on a world map
According to international standard ISO 8601, Monday is the first day of the week. It is followed by Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Sunday is the 7th and last day of the week.
Although this is the international standard, several countries, including the United States and Canada, consider Sunday as the start of the week.
