Religious theories surrounding this eclipse are part of a larger pattern of attempts to find meaning in astronomical events that go back thousands of years. One of the more famous examples from the ancient world of people finding meaning in the skies occurred in 44 B.C.E. when a comet appeared in the skies over Italy just four short months after the assassination of Julius Caesar. Roman authors Pliny the Elder and Suetonius claimed that the comet was visible for about a week and that it was so bright it could be spotted in the late afternoon. Many Romans interpreted its appearance and lingering presence as a sign that Caesar had ascended to the heavens and had taken a seat among the many gods of Rome.
