What is the definition of Ancient Greek being used here? The bulk of the scholars referenced lived several centuries BCE, a few flourished in the Roman era, after 146BCE, and a minute number of listings are from AD dates, including the 1st century Agrippa (astronomer) and the 2nd century Sosigenes the Peripatetic and Claudius Ptolemy - are these last three really Ancient Greeks by most definitions?

The period after after 323BCE is more formally known as the Hellenistic period, and thus the template for Ancient Greek mathematics covering both of these periods uses the header "Ancient Greek and Hellenistic mathematics" - perhaps the same should be applied here, as this would cover everything through to 30 BCE, but that's still no solution for the Greco-Roman entries.

You're confusing yourself. The Hellenistic period IS part of "Ancient Greece". What normally dated to end in 323 is what is called "Classical Greece". Walrasiad (talk) 10:31, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Classical Greece was from 5th-4th BCE; Classical antiquity is from 800BCE to 500CE. Ancient Greece, as any tertiary source that isn't Wikipedia will tell you, e.g. Britannica, is the period up to and including Classical Greece, ending in 323BCe, from where the Hellenistic period kicks off, characterized by all sorts of things at variance with classical/ancient Greece, including Koine Greek.

@Walrasiad: A source for the summary of this revert please, and explanation as to why you think this template should differ from Template:Ancient Greek mathematics, which I simply matched the phrasing with for clarity. Even this is an approximation. Technically it should be Ancient Greek, Hellenistic and Greco-Roman astronomy, since the whole template is really badly overscoped.

I have broken it down for you in the talk page of the Ancient Greece article. If you still have trouble reading that article, let me know. I'd be happy to provide any further clarifications there. You are also likelier to get other editors to chime in there. Walrasiad (talk) 11:13, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

PS. RS's are easy to find. e.g. "Ancient Greek Astronomy"., etc. Just a matter of entering the search term in Google. Bunch come right up. Walrasiad (talk) 11:21, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
