This article reports that the ancient historical records collected by Roman scientists have become scientific data for researchers such as Andy Solow, Senior Scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. In the late 1970's, astronomer Richard Stothers of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies analyzed classical writings from 467 BC to 333 AD. He found dates and descriptions of celestial events that sound much like great auroras--northern lights that extend to middle latitudes (including Rome) during intense periods of solar activity. Stothers uncovered an 11-year cycle of solar activity in ancient times. Some year later, Solow read Stothers' paper and felt compelled to do another statistical analysis. He applied new statistical methods to the dates Stothers gathered from ancient Rome. In a paper published in the journal "Earth and Planetary Science Letters" in April 2005, Solow confirmed the 11-year solar activity cycle seen by Stothers. He went further finding that the cycle of solar activity and resulting auroras was bimodal--that is, it has two peaks. For space physicists and the earth scientists, establishing the 11-year pattern is important because solar variability is linked to past climate changes.
