I have placed online a transcription of the compilation of late Roman
texts known as the "Chronography of 354", with an introduction and
translations where appropriate.  This includes the Philocalian
official calendar.  It is based on the edition of portions by Mommsen
in CIL and MGH, but also includes monochrome images of the pictures in
this work, which were published elsewhere.

This is in the public domain: please copy freely.

If anyone would like to support the site, a CDROM is available:

All the best,

Thanks for the text. Very useful.

Concerning
http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/chronography_of_354_16_chronicle_of_the_city_o
f_rome.htm


I've found the missing length of the regin of Latinus, "Latinus reigned in
the same places . . . here he called his citizens....", in the Book of
Jesher http://www.ccel.org/a/anonymous/jasher/74.htm which says Latinus
reigned for 45 years and then goes on to describe his 18 year long campaign
in Africa. Given that this places his reign between 1223 and 1178 BC this
explains why Merneptah is fighting Italian tribes including the Tyrrhenians,
Sardinians and possibly Sicilians (or Cycldians) in his campaign against the
Libyans.

Given that Latinus is defeated before the 40th year of Moses and Latinus
becomes king in the 22nd year of Moses this means that the campaign of
Latinus against the Africans ie. Lybians, begins in his first year as king
since the difference is 18 years, which puts Latinus defeat in 1205 BC. This
is also about the same year in which the people of Avaris are supposed to
have invaded Egypt according to Manetho, 6 years after Ramses II dies and is
replaced by Amenophis.

It looks like the book of Jasher is counting summers and winters as seperate
years so the dating should be as follows. (The margin of error on the
original figures is +0/-2.5 years because of some discrepancy I haven't
figured out yet. There is also another error margin because of the
difference between this list and the Latin version of the kings list since
the names to fit properly but I can't calculate it properly because I have
the suspicion that 90% of the Latin kings before Faunus are missing from
Latin history.)

1260.5-1235.5 Zepho (50) {Zepherus?/Picus?}
1235.5-1210.5 Janeus (50) {Faunus c.1254 +13/-3}
1210.5-1188.5 Latinus I (44) {Latinus c.1210 +/-9}
1188.5-1169.5 Abianus (38) {Aeanes 1178 +/-5}
1169.5-1144.5 Latinus II (50) {Ascanius 1175 +/-5}

This puts the defeat of Latinus in 1201.5 BC +2.5/-0 years and this places
these events at the time that Paris abducted Hellen and took her to Egypt in
1201 BC (+2/-0 years).

Also given the fact that this text which is referred to in the book of
Joshua and 2Samuel mentions Roman kings it is obvious that it must have been
written during the period of Roman rule of Palestine which means since it
existed before Joshua and 2Samual the bible, both the Septuagint and the
Hebrew text cannot have been written until after 65 BC!!!

Suggest you reread Mommsen on Macedonia since you still avoid
standing for truth, Dodger.

Hey John,

You'll enjoy this one.  If you go to "mountain man"'s site you'll find a
"disquisition" if I dare call it that that claims that Christianity was
invented by Eusebius and Constantine and that all the "orthodox",
heterodox, and heretical writings, much less the pagan and Jewish
references, to Christians, Chirst, etc are all forged from Eusebius'
library in Caesarea.  Oh, its a hoot!
