As the Romans had no 'week' in their calendar, the ones you'll 'have' to
use are the ones used traditionally (and still does) by the Church to
distinguish the weekdays. They are;

Sunday       - Dominica (The Lord's day, if you wish)
Monday       - Feria Secunda  (Second weekday)
Tuesday      - Feria Tertia   (Etc ...       )
Wednesday    - Feria Quarta
Thursday     - Feria Quinta
Friday       - Feria Sexta
Saturday     - Sabbatum (Sabbath)
