Extract

In 1900 W. Kroll came to the conclusion that Vettius Valens lived under the Antonines. Indeed one finds, scattered over the whole work, some forty references to specific dates as examples for the astrological methods under discussion, these dates ranging from Nero 1 (A.D. 54) to Antoninus 21 (A.D. 157).
