I computed the Babylon conquest by Alexander the Great as having taken
place between September 7, 331 and October 7, 331. I was informed by Jona Lendering on http://www.livius.org/aj-al/alexande...ander_t40.html that that conquest is usually dated 21 or 22 October 331, being equivalent, according to Hunger 1988 vol. I p179, with the 14th of the VII month. The point is here that in the end of the VIth month, Venus was in Leo, and that IMHO no more than 20 or 21 days can have elapsed between that Venus-in-Leo observance and the conquest involved. Placing Skymap on October 1, 331, (everything Julian) reveals that Venus was in Virgo, according to our constellation boundaries. Who knows something of the Babylonian boundaries?
