Copy you on that link! Very nice. Thanks. Considering that navigational tools and skills then weren’t what have available, Spain as “west” makes a smidge of sense. They thought the world was much smaller then. Spain certainly isn’t “east”! Thanks.

BTW, the lettering on the mug isn’t only very very small, but it’s gray, and reading it somewhat easily (as if) needed a lot of enlargement. Check out the Cambridge. On this dating question, there’s a whole thing involving the dates of death of a king, eclipses, word of mouth transmission of religious recollection, etc, etc. Nothing is changed about the sequencing of most events, except possibly within a limited span of a decade or so. But since the available chronologies for Roman events are very few, one wonders about other hiccups.
