    This quote must somehow be useful, but I can't enter it into the text field. The field accepts only numbers (positive and negative) and commas.

    For the 85, I'm right with you. For 'Flavian II => Severus', this may be the year that Severus succeeded Flavian II, which is 512.

    512 / 2 - 1 = 255

    So far we have, "85.255", which does look like the start of an IP address.

    Now according to Wikipedia, 1890 is the year that both Van Gogh died and the Anti-Trust act were created. 1890 / 8 = 210.

    So we have, "85.255.210".

    Googling for "Tycho Brahe, Stellar" gives the date of 1572.

    1572 / 12 = 131

    So we have, 85.255.210.131. Unfortunately, going to this IP address shows an empty page with the word 'yes' on it. Hmmm.
