ABSTRACT
In this section of our chronological history, new types of evidence are available, comments from non-astrological sources allowing some account of astrology’s place in society rather than simply an account of technical issues. Also, this chapter is not so much about the development of astrological theory, since that has already been discussed in the first chapter, but is rather concerned with its role in a new environment, that is, Rome, and the profile of astrology in the changing world of the Roman Empire. However, Greeks still play a crucial role in this account, since astrology remained mainly the province of Greeks.
