???The northward equinox passed into Pisces in the year −67 (68 BC)???

According to the annotations made by Hipparchus in the year 129 BC, based on his observations of the Spica, the northward equinox had passed 2 degrees in a period of 144 years -- still being in the Aries constellation at that moment. How could it have been passed into Pisces in the year 68 BC, that is, less than 70 years later? Isn't the velocity of the travel limited to only one degree every 72 years? If so, it has to have taken a much longer time to pass into Pisces. 189.40.65.121 (talk) 00:16, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
