Abstract
Manilio seguía la tradición de la astronomía de Hiparco, o la de Metón, que había establecido un calendario de diecinueve años como heredero de los tradicionales esfuerzos de control del tiempo, tal como aparecen ya en Hesíodo, siempre vinculados a la vida de los agricultores. Más cercanos en el tiempo, Manilio aparece influido por las Geórgicas de Virgilio y por los Fenómenos de Arato de Solos. Éste había adquirido pronto gran prestigio en Roma, no tanto por su valor científico como por su fuerza propagandística del poder personal, lo que marcará en gran medida la obra de Manilio.
Manilio followed the tradition of astronomy of Hipparchus, or Meton, who had established a schedule of nineteen years as heir of traditional control efforts time, as is already in Hesiod, always linked to the life of farmers. Closer in time, Manilius appears influenced by Virgil's Georgics and the Phenomena of Arato of Solos. He had soon acquired great prestige in Rome, not so much for its scientific value and its propagandist power of personal power, which marking largely the work of Manilius.
