The art of haruspicy was taught in the Libri Tagetici, a collection of texts attributed to Tages, a childlike being who figures in Etruscan mythology, and who was discovered in an open field by Tarchon.
Haruspicy continued to be practiced throughout the history of the Roman empire ; the emperor Claudius was a student of Etruscan language and opened a college to preserve and improve their art, which lasted until the reign of Theodosius I.
In 408, the haruspices offered their services when the Goths under Alaric I threatened Rome ; Pope Innocent I reluctantly agreed to allow them to help so long as the ritual s were kept secret.
