The Greek and Roman historians as a single temporal backbone — each band a work over the years it narrates; the darker overlay is where it dates events. Events cascade into sub-events; dated editions hang below; click any event for its literary witnesses. 希腊与罗马史家构成编年脊柱：每条色带为一部史著所叙年代，深色为其系年跨度；事件可级联展开，下挂系年校勘本，点选任一事件可见其文献见证。
📅 Date provenance — every dated ruler, event, person & text cross-checked against Kienast, the Cambridge Ancient History, Brill's New Pauly Supplements I & II, and the OCD; corroboration typed, conflicts surfaced. 年代溯源 —— 对照 Kienast、剑桥古代史、新保利补卷 I/II 与 OCD 逐条核验，标注佐证层级，冲突公开。
