Was a solar eclipse ever associated with the founding of Rome?

 

The location of Rome in 759 BCE would have been 30S 36W as based upon this map:

 

 

In 759 BCE there were indeed two solar eclipses. But were they visible from the Rome horizon or not? On the current maps below, 30S 36W:

 

Neither one of the two 759 BCE eclipses were visible from the pre-Hezekiah location of Rome.

 

 

Both of the 759 BCE solar eclipses were visible as partial from the pre-Hezekiah location of Nineveh-Nimrud-Kalhu-Ashur horizon. Totality would have been experienced further down stream along the Euphrates River on Sep 27, 759 BCE. The Apr 4, 759 BCE solar eclipse would have been experienced as total in Ethiopia.

 

 

Based on the above said and upon the maps, it is clear that neither eclipse was visible from Rome per se. Yet, from the horizon of Nineveh-Nimrud-Kalhu-Asshur, both solar eclipses would have been visible shortly prior to sunset when partial solar eclipses are more noticeable to all. Along the 10S latitude the Sep 27, 759 BCE would have been total, and along 10N the April 4 Annular would have maxed out over pre-Hezekiah Ethiopia. Thus, recorded observations of either or both solar eclipses could well have been available to the author of the retrofitted AUC-calendar.

       Seeing also that April 21, 759 BCE was the 18th day of the month, this would fit well with the Roman and Vatican attraction to any multiple of the numbers 3 and 6. Indeed, seeing that there were two solar eclipses in the year of the founding of Rome, this fact too could have been a significant factor for basing the new AUC calendar in that particular year. Two, as in duo, as in Duo-unity, as in Divinity, as in Gen 2:24. And, obviously, subsequent to the Poleshift, there was a need for new calendars, i.e. seeing that no pre-pole shift calendar would make sense subsequent to said Poleshift.
