Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a cohesive compilation of the lesser-known work of the Roman grammarian and philosopher Censorinus who lived in the 3rd century CE. It presents his treatise on the significance of the date of one's birth, or day of nativity, as it was understood in ancient times. The author draws on the ideas of respected philosophers and scholars to explore the ancient understanding of procreation, astrology, and musical ratios as they relate to the concept of one's birthdate. The treatise also discusses early theories about the development of the fetus within the womb and the calculation of the length of gestation, referencing both Greek and Roman medical perspectives. Ultimately, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the philosophical and scientific ideas surrounding human life and the significance of one's day of birth in ancient Rome.
