1720 ALIENS Prodigies Superstition
Astrology UFOs! Wonders ROME Julius Obsequens
Julius Obsequens was a 5th-century Roman author who is
primarily known for his book of Prodigies, or ‘Prodigiorum Liber’. This book is a collection of writings on natural
wonders, signs, and calamities that occurred during the 3rd century
BC in the Roman Republic. Curiously, much of what Obsequens observed was
already recorded by Livy and thus wasn’t taken as seriously. However, the work
is still popular today for its discussion on superstitions and instances of
numerous astrological signs – even reports of ancient aliens and UFOs!
This 1720 edition was published in Leiden by Samuel Luchtmans.
