"Normal Stars" is the modern term for a set of stars that served as a reference system. The term was introduced by Epping 1889 and derives from Latin "norma", "a measure" or "a standard".
In essence, Babylonian normal stars were used for planet positions in the zodiac similar to what modern astronomers do with quasars for the GAIA data.
