This image is based on the latest research on the Back Dials of the Antikythera Mechanism. The main upper dial is a 19-year, 235-month Metonic calendar; the two subsidiary dials are an Olympiad and a Callippic Dial. The Olympiad Dial follows the four-year cycle of Panhellenic Games, including the Olympic Games. The Callippic Dial is a 76-year dial that improves on the Metonic Dial.
