tripudium การใช้
- Cicero shows that at one point, any bird could perform the " tripudium " [ sacred dance ], but that as the practice progressed it soon began customary to use only chickens.
- For the oracle " ex tripudiis " according to Cicero ( Cic . de Div . ii . 34 ), any bird could be used in auspice, and shows at one point that any bird could perform the " tripudium " but normally only chickens ( " pulli " ) were consulted.
- Conversely, if the chicken left its cage to feast so that something fell from its mouth and landed on the ground, these signs were termed " tripudium solistimum " ( or " tripudium quasi terripavium solistimum " ) [ from " solum ", the ground ], according to the ancient writers ), and were considered to be a favourable sign.
