Description

Religious omens of all kinds played a vital role in Roman private and political life. This volume for the first time publishes all available sources that bear importance on public, military and private auspices in ancient Rome. Arranged chronologically, it provides, after an analysis of the historiographic function of religious omens in the oeuvre of Republican authors and a study of Latin omen terminology, the collection of and comment on all Roman auspices from the time of Aeneas to Augustus.
