Note that the Julian calendar did not exist in the first century.
Various calendar revisions (when the date often jumped by many days at
a time) mean that day of the week for these Equinoxes would have
probably been different for the people of that era than predictions
using the Julian calendar.

looking at the tool http://www.hermetic.ch/cal_sw/ve/ve.php, it seems
these are Gregorian times not Julian.
