  Iulius Obsequens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iulius Obsequens (also spelled Julius Obsequens) was a Roman writer who is said to have lived in the middle of the 4th century.
The only work associated with his name is the Liber de prodigiis (Book of Prodigies), completely extracted from an epitome, or abridgment, written by Livy; De prodigiis was constructed as an account of the wonders and portents that occurred in Rome between 249 BC-12 BC.
A curious, if not important, aspect of Obsequens' work are the references made to unidentified flying objects (UFOs).

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.04.19
A little oddly Vigourt does not offer a designation for the references from Julius Obsequens, although the title offered in the original 1508 Aldine edition, liber prodigiorum, suggests that all the phenomena he recorded were to be regarded as prodigia.
A good example of this is Vigourt's discussion of Nicolas of Damascus where she comments on the lack of presages in his work compared to those of Suetonius, Dio Cassius, or Julius Obsequens (p.
His work sheds light on the ways in which a historian can manipulate a rigid yet important feature of the annalistic form, the prodigy lists, to emphasise his own historiographical aims and demonstrates the extent to which this may be tied into the prevalent political ideology.

Crassus' successor may have been P. Scipio Nasica (praetor probably in 93, although Obsequens, 51, has him punishing rebellious chieftains and destroying their towns in 94).
In 68, C. Antistius Vetus held the command, and his quaestor was C. Iulius Caesar.
This, so far as we know, was Caesar's first contact with either of the Spanish provinces, to which he subsequently was to claim an especial attachment.(84) He is said, by Suetonius, writing in the early second century AD, to have spent his time, on instructions from Antistius, going round the conventus, hearing cases in court.
