Reference information:
Circa (from Latin, meaning 'around, about') - frequently abbreviated c., ca., or ca (and less frequently circ. or cca.) – signifies "approximately" in several European languages (and as a loanword in English), usually in reference to a date.[1] Circa is widely used in historical writing when the dates of events are not accurately known.
Circa (del latín circa 'alrededor de')1​ abreviada c., ca. o cca., significa «alrededor» o «cerca de».2​ Se usa en la bibliografía científica para expresar que, aunque se carece de la certeza necesaria para proporcionar un valor único, existen otros datos fehacientes que permiten asegurar que el hecho o dato que se comunica en el texto se produjo en un momento —o tuvo un valor— anterior o posterior al que se cita en la escala de referencia utilizada, pero siempre relativamente cercano al que se transcribe.
