In many languages, the names given to the seven days of the week are derived from the names of the classical planets in Hellenistic astronomy , which were in turn named after contemporary deities, a system introduced by the Sumerians and later adopted by the Babylonians from whom the Roman Empire adopted the system during late antiquity. The seven-day week was adopted in early Christianity from the Hebrew calendar , and gradually replaced the Roman internundinum. Sunday remained the first day of the week, being considered the day of the sun god Sol Invictus and the Lord's Day , while the Jewish Sabbath remained the seventh. Emperor Constantine adopted the seven-day week for official use in AD, making the Day of the Sun dies Solis , "Sunday" a legal holiday. In the international standard ISO , Monday is treated as the first day of the week, but in many countries it is counted as the second day of the week. Between the first and third centuries AD, the Roman Empire gradually replaced the eight-day Roman nundinal cycle with the seven-day week. The earliest evidence for this new system is a Pompeiian graffito referring to 6 February ante diem viii idus Februarias of the year 60 AD as dies solis "Sunday".
