This catalog has a page for every lunar eclipse from 2000 BC to 3000 AD, 12,064 in all, shown in groups of 20 years at a time. You can go to any eclipse by selecting the milennium, century and 20-year period from the navigation tabs above; then click on an eclipse's date in the list below to to go its page.

You can see the solar eclipses or the combined eclipse catalog by clicking "Solar Eclipses" or "All Eclipses" in the top-right tabs.

Lunar Eclipses, 1220–1201 BC

Note that eclipse dates are specified relative to UT. You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).
16 Jan, 1220 BC
max: 15:55 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.68; Saros 24)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 37 minutes plunged the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passed right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may have been stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. This was a great spectacle for everyone who saw it. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 31 minutes in total.
   
12 Jul, 1220 BC
max: 00:12 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.71; Saros 29)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 44 minutes plunged the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passed right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may have been stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. This was a great spectacle for everyone who saw it. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 50 minutes in total.
   
6 Jan, 1219 BC
max: 05:13 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.34; Saros 34)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 34% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 7 minutes.
   
1 Jul, 1219 BC
max: 08:55 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.36; Saros 39)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 36% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 9 minutes.

max: 17:30 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.29; Saros 6)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 44 minutes, just 29% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
22 May, 1218 BC
max: 17:23 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.10; Saros 11)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 10% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 8 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
