Green, Steven J., 'Conclusion: Manilian Dialogues and the Relaxing of Astrological Discretion', Disclosure and Discretion in Roman Astrology: Manilius and his Augustan Contemporaries (Oxford , 2014; online edn, Oxford Academic, 23 Oct. 2014), https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199646807.003.0011, accessed 4 May 2025.
Abstract
This chapter provides a conclusion by looking at some of the dialogues that went on between Manilius and his contemporaries with regard to astrology. The chapter also stands back and takes stock of the age of Augustus as a period of considerable creative literary engagement with astrological politics in a way that avoided direct criticism of the science. The outright criticism of astrology which is found in Cicero’s De Divinatione(44 bc) only resurfaces in the ad30’s in the work of Seneca the Elder (Suasoriae), before finding full expression again in the mercurial figure of Favorinus, as recorded in Aulus Gellius.
