- Title
Dating Problems in Cuneiform Tablets Concerning the Reign of Antigonus Monophthalmus.
- Authors
Boiy, Tom
- Abstract
In the course of research on cuneiform tablets no fewer than three years have been identified with the first year of Antigonus Monophthalmus (317/16, 316/15, and 315/14 B.C.). Thanks to a better knowledge of the astronomical goal-year texts, a better reading of the Saros Tablet, and the recent publication of a new Saros cycle text, the so-called Solar Saros, the correct equation (1 Antigonus = 317/16 B.C.) is now clear.
