Quote:even numbers were unlucky... I am not sure how modern historians have arrived at their conclusion.

See Plutarch, Roman Questions, XXV, 30-40 on the imperfection of even numbers. Also Pliny, Natural History 28.5.27 on even numbers of diners being 'dangerous'. I'm sure there's more elsewhere.


Quote:empirical data

You keep using this expression. Surely numbers quoted in ancient sources cannot be empirical, as they are not demonstrably based on experience or observation, cannot be measured and cannot be independently verified?
