ROMAN PAGAN EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE
The Mystery of UFO Accounts in Roman Pagan Times
A little about how even the Romans encountered strange objects in the skyβ¦
The Roman pagan era started when Rome was founded in 753 BCE. The beginning. It lasted until Christianity became the primary religion in the 4th century CE. During this time, people often thought unusual events in the sky were messages or warnings from their gods. Ancient stories about strange lights or objects in the sky sound very similar to modern UFO sightings.
How the Romans Viewed the Sky
To the Romans, the sky was a divine canvas where gods communicated their will. Priests known as augurs studied the flight of birds and other celestial phenomena to interpret these messages. Strange lights or flying objects were not dismissed as mere oddities; they were seen as significant signs that could influence decisions in war, politics, and daily life. This profound connection to the heavens bridged their spirituality and a curiosity about the unknown.
