Topic: Auspices


In the News (Fri 27 Nov 09)

  
  Augury
The power to take auspices was transferred from one magistrate to the next; that is, after an official was elected he had to perform a special augury to see if the gods approved his election.
If the auspices indicate disapproval of a proposal to build a temple or other public facility, then it should be determined whether the chosen site or some other aspect of the proposal needs to be altered, and auspices taken again.
For the auspices taken for inaugurating an official, the templum that was drawn and established on the ground might be made after midnight, where the auspex would remain in contemplation and offering sacrifices to the gods.

 Auspices
A shapechanger is the strongest when the moon's phase corresponds to her auspice; the first time each month a werewolf sees her auspice moon, she is filled with an uncontrollable rush of energy.
Cubs born under this auspice are of a mystical disposition, often fascinated by the supernatural and the spiritual.
When her auspice moon hangs in the heavens, she is eager to unleash her wrath and give in to the glory of bloodlust.

 Bibulus and the auspices
The only place where auspices could be taken that would directly pertain to the assembly of the comitia was at the same location in which the comitia met.
So any auspices he might have seen, had he seen any, would not have conducted in a propertemplum and therefore would not have applied to the comitia anyway.
No ill omens seen, no ill auspices pertaining to the comitia assembling, no obnuntatio reporting preemptive auspices, and never a proper templum established to take such auspices, therefore there is absolutely no truth to the claim that Caesar ignored Bibulus' auspices or proceeded with the assembly against augural proscriptions.

 Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Teacher-child interaction and child-care auspices as predictors of social outcomes in ...
Four auspices of child-care centers were sampled: nonprofit, local for-profit, national chains for-profit, and church-sponsored.
In both these studies, there were effects for auspice that favored nonprofit centers with respect to observed quality (Phillipsen et al., 1996) and social outcomes (Phillips et al., in press).
Findings concerning auspice typically compare nonprofit and for-profit centers, yet there are different categories of nonprofit centers (e.g., church-sponsored vs. community) and for-profit centers (e.g., large chains vs. individually owned).

 Roman auspices contrasted from Etruscan
Servilius made the same distinction when he said that the greater and older form of auspices were those used by Latins, specifying the tripudium and the auspices taken by the flight of birds, and contrasted those used along with a precatio (Ad Aen.
So the greater and older form of auspices used at Rome, attributed to the maiores is specifying as Latin and he is specifically discounting Etruscan practices as part of those auspices.
With regard to auspices specifically, the Etruscan auspices by fulgurale and ostentaria were more complex than that used by Romans with regard to such signs, and Romans used a much wider variety of signs than did Etruscans.

The Commission requested that any agreement between FAO and the IARCs include the provision that the genetic resources held in "trust" are made available without restrictions and that no intellectual property rights are applied to them.
