Resumo

Este artigo apresenta as investigações de Carman (2017), que demonstram  a data de 5 de março de 193 A.E.C., ou um mês anomalístico antes como sendo a última vez que a manivela do Mecanismo de Anticítera foi acionada, algum tempo antes do naufrágio. Para argumentar sua proposta este pesquisador considerou duas datas - ambas correspondentes ao ano de 205 A.E.C.,  - já obtidas a partir dos dados analisados nos mostradores posteriores do aparato; Metônico (parte superior) e Saros (parte inferior), alguns ponteiros identificados por tomografias computadorizadas, e restos de alguns dos fragmentos para fundamentar sua investigação.
