For your info: Cato's On Agriculture   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #772 of 8035 |
Hi all

Yesterday, some Loeb books have arrived. Cato presents the Seasons as
follows:

1st day of Spring: when the Sun is in Aquarius
1st day of Summer: when the Sun is in Taurus
1st day of Autumn: when the Sun is in Leo (he also refers the rising of
Sirius)
1st day of Winter: whhen the Sun is in Scorpius

As to the activities prescribed for the Seasons, two of them have called my
attention:
- Sowing: from the Winter Solstice to the beginning of Spring.
- Harvesting: from the start of Autumn to the Autumn Equinox.

This is for the case someone wants to explore the agricultural aspect of
Mithraic iconography.

Cheers,
Antonio
