The first Liverpool poster

This is the first of the two posters (A1 format) I was invited to prepare for and to exibit at the 2008 Annual Conference of the U.K. Classical Association, which took place at the Liverpool University from March 27th to 30th. Liverpool was last year 'the European capital of culture'.

In a consensed form in the poster I've summarized my astronomical interpretation of the phoenix, shown the principal characteristics of the planetary phenomenon and indicated all the dated appearances (seven cases) of the mythical bird I found in ancient literature, which I used to demonstrate the validity of my thesis.
