Actually, if you want to get nerdily technical about it, Spring would have begun on the evening of March 24th, Summer on the evening of June 23rd, Autumn on the evening of September 23rd, and Winter on the evening of December 24th by our modern Gregorian/Julian reckoning, because all the near east and Mediterranean began their reckoning of days from evening, not midnight. Antolius is counting from Roman days in the Julian Calendar, which were reckoned from midnight. That was one of the great changes of the Julian calendar.
