Alexandria and Alexander's birthday

Here's another interesting little piece, courtesy of our friends at RogueClassicism.

It might be utter tosh, but it sounds quite interesting.

All the best

It would have been a more logical conclusion to have stuck with the Regulan alignment, all of these people were Kings after all ; as has been discussed here elsewhere Plutarch's birthdate is suspect, surprising that the authors accept this tendentious evidence in one breath and dismiss his claims of a favourable location in the next. Since the surveyors would have used direct observation rather than calculation half a degree seems a large error, ignore the putative Birthday and a one second error seems acceptable; i suppose an Alexander connection is more sexy than plain astrology. Was Regulus significant in the 4th Century BC, though?
