There was the Antikythera mechanism around 100-200BC which has been referred to as an analogue computer. It appears to be able to compute astronomical positions and Olympiads.

Some think the Greeks had many engines like this, but they were scrapped by later generations who did not understand them, because they were made of valuable brass
