= The Roman grammarian Censorinus lived in the first half of the third century A.D. Of him survives De die natali, dedicated to his patronus Q. Caerellius on his birthday in A.D. 238. The first part deals with the genetic and astrologic aspects of the date of birth, and furthermore numerical mysticism. The second with time and divisions. Its sources are Varro, Suetonius (De anno Romanorum), and several Greek authorities on procreation, embryology, botany and music. Schweiger p.101.
