  The Astronomical Diaries from Babylonia (ADB) are an excellent source of
information of natural phenomena, including astronomical ones, in pre-Christ
era because it contains the record of highly continuous and systematic
observations. In this article we present results of a survey of aurora-like
phenomena in ADB, spanning from BCE 652 to BCE 61. We have found 9 records of
aurora-like phenomena. Philological and scientific examinations suggest 5 of
them can be considered as likely candidate for aurora observations. They
provide unique information about the solar and aurora activities in the first
millennium BCE.
