Astronomy from Ancient Times

Marcus Manilius: Astronomica
 The picture shows the opening of a book. On both pages the text is printed at the top of the page and at the bottom are pictures of constellations. On the left-hand page, the constellation of capricornus is shown. The picture shows an animal with a goat's front body and a snake-like tail. On the right is an aquarius. The naked male figure is kneeling, carrying a large pot from which water is flowing down past him.
Gaius Julius Hyginus: De Astronomia
