	Marcus Manilius - MSN Encarta
		Manilius is known for his Astronomica, a poem on astronomy and astrology.
		The poem’s five books discuss such topics as the form and origin of the world, the four elements (earth, water, air, and fire), the place of the earth in the universe, the zodiac, the constellations of the northern and southern skies, and the nature of the stars.
		For astrology, Manilius seems to have been influenced by Asclepiades of Myrlea in Bithynia, who practiced medicine and studied physiology.

	Katharina VOLK
		This paper examines a curious fact about the astrological poem of Marcus Manilius (early first century AD): the absence, in all of the five books, of a detailed discussion of the planets.
		That the Latin poet does not treat the planets is surprising since, after all, the discipline of astrology consists primarily in determining and interpreting the exact position of the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn vis-ÃÝ-vis the backdrop of the fixed stars, especially the signs of the zodiac.
		I suggest that this strategy is not peculiar to Manilius, but indicative of a general split, in the Hellenistic and especially Roman periods, between "hard" science on the one hand and scientific literature, especially of a poetic or philosophical kind, on the other.

	Manilius: Poetry & Science after Vergil
		About Marcus Manilius, the man so far known only as a blister, we know nothing beyond his authorship of a single poem, the Astronomica, and a few fragments.
		Its style is highly rhetorical, strongly influenced by Ovid; Manilius clearly delights in the challenges his subject presents, topics like a description of the stars in the night sky, the planets and their paths, the circles of the celestial sphere, and particularly the zodiac and its constellations, the twelve signs.
		Specific studies have addressed Manilius' allusions to and borrowings from earlier poets, his influence in the Middle Ages, the evidence for his ideological leanings, and (brand new) his use of similes.

		Marcus should not shy away from mudslinging, he should use '...allegations of criminal or licentious or corrupt behaviour against his rivals, as best befits their respective characters...' (Cataline came in for particular attention).
		In early 57, one of Marcus' friends, the new consul, Lentulus Spinther moved that Marcus be commended to the safety of all provincial governors- a measure designed to cancel out one of Clodius' spectacular but somewhat impractical provisions which effectively imposed a 400 mile exclusion zone on Cicero.
		Marcus declined and for his trouble was denounced as a traitor and nearly killed by Cn.

		Marcus Manilius (MAHR-kuhs ma-NIHL-ee-uhs) wrote a long didactic poem in five books, the Astronomica (n.d.; English translation, 1977), a treatise on astrology.
		His name was probably Marcus Manilius, but other forms are possible.
		He knew the works of Vergil, Livy, and Cicero, and he specifically opposed the poet Lucretius, but since his apparent knowledge of Greek literature was broader, he may have been Greek.

		Firmicus Maternus, who wrote in the time of Constantine I of the Roman Empire, exhibits so many points of resemblance with the work of Manilius that he must either have used him or have followed some work that Manilius also followed.
		As Firmicus says that hardly any Roman except Julius Caesar, Cicero and Marcus Cornelius Fronto had treated the subject, it is probable that he did not know the work of Manilius.

	Harvard University Press: Astronomica by Manilius
		Marcus Manilius, who lived in the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius, is the author of the earliest treatise on astrology we possess.
		His Astronomica, a Latin didactic poem in five books, begins with an account of celestial phenomena, and then proceeds to treat of the signs of the zodiac and the twelve temples; there follow instructions for calculating the horoscoping degree, and details of chronocrators, decans, injurious degrees, zodiacal geography, paranatellonta, and other technical matters.
		Besides exhibiting great virtuosity in rendering mathematical tables and diagrams in verse form, the poet writes with some passion about his Stoic beliefs and shows much wit and humour in his character sketches of persons born under particular stars.

		Manilius emphasizes his originality in a very traditional way, by surveying a quick catalogue of Greek hexameter poets.
		Manilius may not be able to explain earthquakes and floods (unde tremor terris…) but he points out that their occurrence is simply part of the natural order of things (4.828-29); in lengthy passage he discusses the seasonal changes in the length of day light (3.443-82).
		Furthermore, Manilius insists that to understand the heavens is to understand God, and is characteristic of human kind in contrast to the animals.

		As such, they are the earliest description of the nature of astrological houses - and the three systems by which the houses are applied to the Zodiac Wheel - that we possess.
