1720 ALIENS Prodigies Superstition Astrology UFOs! Wonders ROME Julius Obsequens

Julius Obsequens was a 5^th-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 3^rd 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.
