Ptolemy

the name of the 2d Century Roman Scientist and Astrologer who created a set of "Handy Tables of data to compute the position of the Sun, moon and stars" is:

Claudius Ptolemy.

Explanation:

Ptolemy lived between the year 100 and the year 170 (2nd century), time in which he contributed different bases to astronomy, geography and even astrology. In the first-mentioned area, his geocentric model can be highlighted, with which he mentioned that the Earth It was the center of the universe and therefore it was motionless in the middle of it, and other stars such as the sun or the moon revolved around it and, although in that reasoning it was wrong, it provided fairly accurate means for the time in which the displacement and retrogradation of the planets can be calculated.
