New Year in Spring?

As calendars have changed over the centuries, so has the day when the new year begins.

Since many nations did not have calendars, they calculated the year according to the weather and seasons, as well as on the basis of the field work they performed.

It is believed that the people in Mesopotamia had their first New Year's celebration more than 2,000 years ago, and then it was welcomed in mid-March.

In ancient Rome, the arrival of the new year was first celebrated on March 1, somewhere around the spring equinox, because then nature woke up, and the days became longer than the night.
