Bill has created an additional orientation page to his website, which makes it easier to find everything related to ancient astronomy and astrology: he calls it CAELUM ANTIQUUM.
On a related note, here is piece of software that I find very useful if I need to check an astronomical phenomenon from Antiquity: it is called Starry Night Backyard and enables you to see the skies from anywhere on earth (or a planet) on any given moment. So you can relive that solar eclipse on 28 May 585 BCE, which made an end to a battle between the Medes and Lydians; or check any other celestial portent.
