ANCIENT ROME The ancient Romans were very superstitious and believed in various omens: seeing a snake was a good omen for them; before undertaking any initiative they interpreted the flight of birds (to which the auguri priests were assigned). These and other symbols, such as Bacchus at the foot of Vesuvius appear in this Pompeian fresco.
