Eclipse of the antiquity

In these pages I am collecting given on eclipse of the antiquity equipped from the ancient sources in language with translation to forehead.

• Eclisse di Sole of the -584 (58ÄC) previewed from Talete, (Plinio the Old one).
• Eclisse di Sole of the -189 (190AC) seen to Rome (Tito Livio).
• Eclisse di Luna of the -167 (16ÅC) previewed from Sulpicio Gallo the day before the battle of Pidna (Tito Livio).

These eclipses are most useful in order to resolve chronology problems .

Of particular interest it is the page Solar Eclipses of Historical interest edited by Fred Espenak of NASA: it contains detailed data and maps of some historical eclipses.
