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.
