In Astrology in Roman Law and Politics, historian Frederick H. Cramer explores how astrological belief influenced Roman governance, imperial authority, and legal regulation from the late Republic through the early Empire. Drawing on a wide range of ancient sources, the book examines the social status of astrologers, their relationships with emperors and elites, and the laws enacted to control or suppress astrological practice. Highly regarded for its interdisciplinary approach, this work remains an essential reference for scholars and readers interested in Roman history, ancient law, political culture, and the historical role of astrology.
