	Hipparchus - Crystalinks
		Also it is known that the Babylonian priest known as Berossus wrote around 281 BC a book in Greek on the (rather mythological) history of Babylonia, the Babyloniaca, for the new ruler Antiochus I; it is said that later he founded a school of astrology on the Greek island of Kos.
		After that, in 135 BC, enthusiastic about a nova in the constellation of Scorpius, he measured with an equatorial armillary sphere ecliptical coordinates of about 1,000 stars (the exact number is not known) for his star catalogue.
		Hipparchus had in 134 BC ranked stars in six magnitude classes according to their brightness: he assigned the value of 1 to the twenty brightest stars, to weaker ones a value of 2, and so forth to the stars with a class of 6, which can be barely seen with the naked eye.

	Hipparchus
		Hipparchus (Greek Ἳππαρχος) (circa 190 BC – circa 120 BC) was a Greek astronomer, geographer, and mathematician.
		After that in 135 BC, enthusiastic about a nova star in the constellation of Scorpius, he measured with an equatorial armillary sphere ecliptical coordinates of about 850 (falsely quoted elsewhere as 1600 or 1080) and in 129 BC he made first big star catalogue.

		Hipparchus or Hipparchos of Nicaea did his observations from Rhodes between 146 and 127 BC.
		He was the first astronomer who compiled a catalog of 850 stars; this work was perhaps triggered by the observation of a "New Star" (Nova) in the constellation Scorpius in 134 BC (according to Roman historian Pliny).
		To remarkable acuracy, he obtained measurements of the value of precession, the length of the year, and (from eclipse observations) the distance of the Moon.

	Skyscript: The Copernican Revolution by David Plant
		Finally Aristarchus of Samos (c.310-c.250 BC), the last of the Pythagorean astronomers, reasoned that the motions of the celestial bodies could all be explained by assuming that the Sun rather than the Earth stood at the centre.
		Later generations of astronomers and mathematicians were saddled with the task of devising a theory of planetary motion that could explain such awkward anomalies as retrograde motion and the apparent variations in the brilliance of the planets, yet remain within the prescribed requirements of a fixed central Earth with circular planetary orbits and uniform speeds.
		Aristotle (c.384-c.322 BC) was a disciple of Plato but later rejected his abstract idealism in favour of a more pragmatic approach, insisting that all speculation must be based upon observation, analysis and systematic research.

	Timeline related to Greek Science and Technology 1/2
		About 480 BC Parmenides of Elea (Παρμενίδης ο Ελεάτης) founded the Eleatic School where he taught that 'all is one,' not an aggregation of units as Pythagoras had said, and that to arrive at a true statement, logical argument is necessary.
		About 330 BC Heraclides of Pontus said that the earth turns daily on its axis "while the heavenly things were at rest..., considered the cosmos to be infinite..., [and] with the Pythagoreans, considered each planet to be a world with an earth-like body and with an atmosphere" (Dreyer 1906:123-125).
		About 260-250 BC Archimedes of Syracuse contributed numerous advances to science including the principle that a body immersed in fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid and the calculation of the value of pi.

	Hipparchus
		The year 127 BC is usually cited as the last date known for his actual work, and a French astronomer, Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Delambre (1749-1822), clearly demonstrated that some observations of Hipparchus on the star Eta Canis Majoris could well have been carried out in that year.
		Hipparchus had been stimulated in 134 BC by observing a "new star." Concluding that such a phenomenon indicated a lack of permanency in the number of "fixed" stars, he determined to catalog them, and no criticism was able to deflect him from his original purpose.
		Hipparchus' catalog, completed in 129 BC, listed about 850 stars (not 1,080 as is often stated), the apparent brightnesses of which were specified by a system of six magnitudes similar to that used today.

		Re-established strong central control in Parthia and influence in Armenian affairs, and was responsible for defeating Roman ambitions in the east, most notably with the defeat of Crassus at Carrhae in 53 BC.

	The Parthian period (
		His troops moved north and occupied Babylon and Seleucia probably sometime in 127 BC, when the Parthians were fighting nomadic invaders in the eastern part of their territory.
		In 95 BC the Armenian king Tigranes II, a hostage at the court of Mithradates, was placed on the throne of Armenia by his Parthian overlord, and the small kingdoms of northern Mesopotamia--Adiabene, Gordyene, and Osroene--gave allegiance to Mithradates.
		Mithradates II died about 87 BC, although he may have died earlier, since the period after 90 BC is dark and a usurper named Gotarzes may have ruled for a few years in Mesopotamia.

	THE PTOLEMAIC PERIOD
		Ptolemy I Soter I (ruled 305-285 BC) was the founder of the Ptolemaic line, and he took the Egyptian throne after the death of Alexander IV.
		Eventually, a propaganda campaign by Octavian and the actions of Cleopatra VII, the daughter of Ptolemy XII, and the sister-wife of Ptolemy XIII, provided an ideal pretext for the Romans to conquer Egypt.
		During the Ptolemaic period and the subsequent Roman period, Alexandria was a thriving and cosmopolitan city, and by the mid-first century BC had a population of around half a million, including substantial numbers of Greeks and Jews.

	Greatest emporium in the world
		Up to the time of Alexander the Great (Pella, 356 BC – Babylone, 323 BC), Egypt lacked permanent, suitable harbours on its northern coast, as those landing-places located at the mouth of some branches of the Delta (best known of which were the ones at Canopus and Pelusium) were of a temporary nature.
		The date 116 BC of these Latin inscriptions is of special interest because it coincides with an event of global significance, namely the discovery of the monsoon winds in the Indian Ocean by Alexandrian navigators.
		It is also perhaps not entirely irrelevant that in 55 BC, the Senate decided to send Gabinius at the head of a Roman army to restore Auletes to his throne and remain in Alexandria for the protection of the king against possible future revolts.

		The Great Wall was extended down the Hexi Corridor through which the Silk Road traders would travel on the way to and from the West.

	Thorens TD 127
		A member of the Analog-Forum offered a TD 127 BC (without tonearm) for a very reasonable price, and because I’m a lover of Thorens turntables - and especially the ones with 12-inch-tonearm-capability - I definitely could not resist to write him immediately.
		The guy I bought the TD 127 from had a Lustre 9-inch tonearm in use and therefore had made an extra armboard, so I got the original mahogany armboard drilled for the SME 3012 in pristine condition.
		But since I wanted to use the TD 127 with a 3012 the way to go was clear - the Garrard 301 would loose his tonearm, at least until the moment I can put my hands on another 12-inch SME (or maybe a nice Fidelity Research - hey, I’m just dreaming...).
