Origin:
The term "indiction" is derived from Latin indictiō, which in turn comes from the Greek word ἐνδίκτιον (endiktion), meaning "indiction."
Explanation:
The indiction was introduced by the Roman emperor Constantine I in 312 CE as a fiscal measure to organize tax collection and conscription. It consisted of a cycle of 15 years, numbered consecutively. The indiction year began on September 1st of the Gregorian calendar.
The indiction was widely used in medieval Europe for dating documents, coins, and other historical records. However, its use declined in the 18th century as the Gregorian calendar gained prominence. Today, the indiction is primarily used by Orthodox churches for calculating the date of Easter.
