EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to ancient Rome, where Roman augurs practiced the art of foretelling the future by observing the behavior of hens. Augurs were highly respected individuals in Roman society, believed to have a special connection with the gods and able to interpret their will through signs and omens.
In this image, we see a group of Roman augurs deep in concentration as they watch a group of hens pecking at the ground. The scene is filled with an air of mystery and anticipation, as these men carefully study every movement and noise made by the birds in order to glean insights into what lies ahead.
The practice of augury was considered essential for making important decisions, whether in matters of war, politics, or personal fortune. By interpreting the behavior of animals like hens, augurs believed they could uncover hidden truths about events yet to unfold.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the enduring fascination humans have had with predicting the future and understanding our place within it. Through centuries past and present, our quest for knowledge about what lies ahead continues to drive us forward on a journey that is both mysterious and enlightening.
