As it is well-known, astronomical studies of Ancient epoch in the historical development process of mankind doubtlessly have a great importance for comprehension of nature of universe. Hereby particularly Eudoxus, Herakleides, Hipparkos, Aristarkhos ve Aristotle’s models of running of the universe and in the following years the theory developed by Ptolemaios will be examined.
