Consulted Etruscan Fortune Oracles Seer Superbus Tarquinius Telling Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the Etruscan seer Olenus Calenus, consulted by the ancient Roman king Tarquinius Superbus before embarking on military undertakings. The historical scene unfolds in a dimly lit temple, where the enigmatic figure of Olenus Calenus, dressed in traditional Etruscan attire, holds a pair of extispicy instruments in his hands. Tarquinius Superbus, dressed in the regal robes of a Roman monarch, stands before him, his expression a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. The practice of consulting oracles and seers was an integral part of ancient military strategy, with leaders seeking divine guidance and insight into the outcome of their campaigns. Olenus Calenus, renowned for his paranormal abilities, was one of the most revered seers of the Etruscan civilization. His expertise in the art of extispicy, the ancient practice of interpreting the entrails of sacrificed animals, made him an invaluable advisor to Tarquinius Superbus. The atmosphere in the temple is tense, as the fate of the Roman army hangs in the balance. The flickering torchlight casts eerie shadows on the temple walls, adding to the sense of mystery and intrigue. The seer's assistants stand by, ready to record his interpretations, while the sacrificial animal lies butchered on the altar. This evocative print offers a glimpse into the rich history of ancient military strategy and the role of paranormal practices in shaping the course of history. The image of Olenus Calenus and Tarquinius Superbus serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination with the unknown and the belief that the divine could offer guidance and protection in times of uncertainty.
