SEYFFARTH ON THE THEORY OF THE MOON'S MOTIONS. 43 I 



of the Roman Emperors," Gettysburg Quarterly Review, 1872, 

 p. 47 ; " Chronologie der Romischen Kaiser," Rudelbach's Zeit- 

 schrift, Halle, 1872, p. 50; "Probst's Theologische Monatshefte," 

 Allentown, 1S72, p. 168, and in the premises, — it would be super- 

 fluous to repeat in extenso all that has been done in this respect ; 

 it will be sufficient to remember, in short, the principal proving 

 arguments. The following Table shows the difference of Peta- 

 vius's and the author's Roman histories and chronologies. Since 

 the consuls, preceding the introduction of the solar calendar of 

 Julius Caesar, commenced to rule on different days of the lunar 

 calendar, and since the dates of Roman eclipses depend on the 

 times -of the consulates, the days on which the earlier consuls 

 commenced to rule are, in accordance with Livy, specified in all 

 instances. The asterisk (*) joined to the years of the cera urbis 

 conditee denotes the Olympian games celebrated in the same years. 

 The names of the consuls are abbreviated. T signifies total 

 eclipse, P partial one.
