Journal for the History of Astronomy, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 366-372, August 2019. 〈br/〉Using detailed knowledge of the Earth’s variable rotation, we conclude that the eclipse of BC 188 July 17 was total at Rome, and that Livy’s historical account of the darkness that befell the city in that year was due to this eclipse. This sets tight constraints on the value of ∆T at that epoch.
