Which Equinox?

Which Equinox?

Abstract

[ES]La reforma del calendario Republicano introducida por Julio César en el 46 a. de C. se llevó a cabo par ajustar el año y las festividades con las estaciones. Existen varias posibles definiciones de equinoccio y los historiadores han admitido an general que el 25 de Marzo era la fecha canónica para el equinoccio vernal. Nosotros encontramos que la definición de equinoccio que pudo ser utilizada fue la de el día que marca la mitad en el intervalo entre los solsticios de invierno y verano. Se sugiere un método para obtener dicha fecha. Esto implica que la longitud de los meses, en especial Febrero (Februarius) y Agosto (Sextilis) fue la misma que ahora desde el inicio de la reforma juliana.

[EN]The reform of the Republican calendar introduced by Julius Caesar in 46 b.c. was carried out to adjust the year and festivities to the seasons. There are varying definitions for equinox, and historians have generally accepted that March 25 was the canonical date for the vernal equinox. We find that the sense of equinox used could have been the day that marked the middle of the interval between the winter and summer solstices. A method of deriving these dates is suggested. This also implies that from the beginning of Caesar’s reform, the length of the months, especially February (Februarius) and August (Sextilis), was the same as it is now.
