Extractions: Version for printing Little is known of Hipparchus 's life, but he is known to have been born in Nicaea in Bithynia. The town of Nicaea is now called Iznik and is situated in north-western Turkey. Founded in the 4 th Century BC, Nicaea lies on the eastern shore of Lake Iznik. Reasonably enough Hipparchus is often referred to as Hipparchus of Nicaea or Hipparchus of Bithynia and he is listed among the famous men of Bithynia by Strabo , the Greek geographer and historian who lived from about 64 BC to about 24 AD. There are coins from Nicaea which depict Hipparchus sitting looking at a globe and his image appears on coins minted under five different Roman emperors between 138 AD and 253 AD. This seems to firmly place Hipparchus in Nicaea and indeed Ptolemy does describe Hipparchus as observing in Bithynia, and one would naturally assume that in fact he was observing in Nicaea. However, of the observations which are said to have been made by Hipparchus, some were made in the north of the island of Rhodes and several (although only one is definitely due to Hipparchus himself) were made in Alexandria. If these are indeed as they appear we can say with certainty that Hipparchus was in Alexandria in 146 BC and in Rhodes near the end of his career in 127 BC and 126 BC.

Moreover, in the Scholia12 of the Principia (published only in 1981!) Newton had inserted, without quotation, several chosen passages of De facie De mundi systemate Liber I . What about the inverse square law? Again in the Scholia Newton gives credit for its discovery to Pythagoras (while in the De mundi systemate Liber I he credits the second king of Rome, the legendary Numa Pompilius, for the introduction of heliocentrism, suggesting, however, that he may have had it from the Egyptians).
