Earthquakes in the light of ancient science: the witness of apuleius, Mund.18.329-332
Abstract
In the pseudo-aristotelian Peri kosmou and in its Latin version apuleius’ De mundo there is a classification of earthquakes unparalleled in antiquity. after reviewing in detail the various «scientific≫ studies of earthquakes that were made in ancient world and the types that they suggest, we can say that the classification of Peri kosmou is stoic in origin, which could help us to date this little treatise and also allows us to learn more about its possible influence later.
