| ARTICLES RELATED TO 147 BC | | | |  147 BC: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Jing of Han - Early reignEmperor Jing largely continued his father's policy of non-interference with the people and reduction of tax and other burdens. He continued his policy of reducing criminal penalties, and in 156 BC, in reaction to the reality that his father's abolition of corporal punishments of cutting off nose and feet were in fact causing more people to die from whipping, reduced the number of whips that criminals would receive. (He would later reduce the penalty again in 144 BC.) He also continued his father's policy of heqin (marriage treaties) with Xio ...

| | | | | 147 BC: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Jing of Han - Middle reign and succession issues In 153 BC, because Empress Bo did not have a son, Emperor Jing created his oldest son Liu Rong (劉榮) crown prince. This made Liu Rong's mother, Consort Li (栗姬), who was one of Emperor Jing's favorite concubines, extremely arrogant. She also thought she would be created empress, particularly after Empress Bo was deposed in 151 BC, following Grand Empress Dowager Bo's death. She hated Emperor Jing's sister Princess Liu Piao, because Princess Piao had often given her brother beautiful women as concubines, drawing Consort Li's jealousy. When Princess Piao wanted to end this dispute by giving h ...

| | | | | 147 BC: Encyclopedia II - Hipparchus astronomer - Star catalogue After that, in 135 BC, enthusiastic about a nova in the constellation of Scorpius, he measured with an equatorial armillary sphere ecliptical coordinates of about 1,000 stars (the exact number is not known) for his star catalogue.
He also knew the work Phainomena (Phenomena). That poem, known as Phaenomena or Arateia, describes the constellations and the stars that form them. Hipparchus' commentary contains many measurements of stellar position and times for rising, culmination, and setting of the constella ...

| | | | | 147 BC: Encyclopedia II - Hipparchus astronomer - Precession of the equinoxes 146 BC-130 BC Hipparchus is perhaps most famous for having been the first to measure the precession of the equinoxes. There is some suggestion that the Babylonians may have known about precession, but it appears that Hipparchus was the first to really understand it and measure it. According to al-Battani, Chaldean astronomers had distinguished the tropical and sidereal year. He stated that they had, around 330 BC, an estimation for the length of the sidereal year to be SK = 365 days 6 hours 11 min (= 365.258 days) with an er ...

| | | | | 147 BC: Encyclopedia II - Jonathan Maccabaeus - Diodotus Tryphon This made Diodotus Tryphon suspicious; he went with an army to Judea, invited Jonathan to Scythopolis for a friendly conference, and persuaded him to dismiss his army of 40,000 men, promising to give him Ptolemais and other fortresses. Jonathan fell into the trap; he took with him to Ptolemais 1,000 men, all of whom were slain; he himself was taken prisoner (I Macc. xii. 33-38, 41-53; Josephus, l.c. xiii. 5, § 10; 6, §§ 1-3).
When Diodotus Tryphon was about to enter Judea at Hadid, he was confronted by the new Jewish leader, ...

| | | | | | 147 BC: Encyclopedia II - Roman Republic - Government institutions The first and most important institution of the Roman Republic was the Roman Senate. Inside the Senate there were two unofficial parties: the optimates and the populares. The Senate had major influence and prestige being composed by aristocratic and rich patricians and plebians. The great majority of the senators were former republican officials.
The Romans observed two principles for their officials: annuality, or the observation of a one-year term, and collegiality, or the holding of the same office by at least two men ...

| | | | | 147 BC: Encyclopedia II - Jonathan Maccabaeus - Friendship with Rome and Sparta. As Demetrius II did not keep his promise, Jonathan thought it better to support the new king when Diodotus Tryphon and Antiochus VI seized the capital, especially as the last-named confirmed all his rights and appointed his brother Simeon strategos of the seacoast, from the "Ladder of Tyre" to the frontier of Egypt.
Jonathan and Simeon were now entitled to make conquests; Ashkelon submitted voluntarily while Gaza was forcibly taken. Jonathan vanquished even the strategi of Demetrius II far to the north, in the plain of Hazar, while Si ...

| | | | | 147 BC: Encyclopedia II - Jonathan Maccabaeus - Under Demetrius II. In 145 BC, the Battle of Antioch resulted in the final defeat of Alexander Balas by the forces of his father-in-law Ptolemy VI. Ptolemy himself was however among the casualties of the battle. Demetrius II Nicator remained sole ruler of the Seleucid Empire and became the second husband of Cleopatra Thea.
Jonathan owed no allegiance to the new King and took this opportunity to conquer the City of Acre, still garrisoned by a Seleucid force and inhabited by the Jewish Hellenists (I Macc. xi. 20; Josephus, l.c. xiii. 4, § 9). Demet ...
