SUMMARY:Rostovtzeff Lecture Series: The Sky over Ancient Iraq: Babylonian Astronomy in Context
DTSTART:20180403T220000Z
DTEND:20180403T233000Z
DESCRIPTION:Note: We are now fully booked for this event and are only 
 accepting names for the wait-list. Due to inclement weather on March 2
 1st\, the first lecture of the Rostovtzeff series has been rescheduled
  for March 28th\, and the second lecture of the series has been resche
 duled for April 3rd. The second lecture will focus on the astronomical
  diaries and related texts\, which are observational reports that emer
 ged in Babylonia during the seventh century BCE and continued to be wr
 itten for at least six centuries. Apart from astronomical phenomena\, 
 market prices\, weather phenomena\, river levels and historical events
  were also reported in these texts. They provide unique opportunities 
 for reconstructing observational practices and the predictive methods 
 to which these texts turn out to be intricately linked.
