The Comet Of 44 B.C. and Caesar's Funeral Games (Paperback): John T. Ramsey, A. Lewis Licht The Comet Of 44 B.C. and Caesar's Funeral Games (Paperback)
John T. Ramsey, A. Lewis Licht; Foreword by Brian G. Marsden
R885 Discovery Miles 8 850 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This unique collaboration between a classicist and physicist at the University of Illinois at Chicago is the first work to combine the evidence from both China and Rome for the spectacular daylight comet of 44 BC, perhaps the most famous comet in antiquity. This investigation, which also examines allusions to this comet in astrological literature from later antiquity, sheds new light on the significance of the comet as a powerful symbol in the political propaganda that launched Augustus' career.
