Description

Explore the deep connection between avian life and ancient Roman culture with this scholarly work from Routledge. Part of the Global Perspectives on Ancient Mediterranean Archaeology series, this book examines how birds shaped the religious and social landscape of the Italian peninsula between 100 BCE and 100 CE. Readers will gain a broad overview of the subject, starting with the religious importance of omens, augury, and auspices. You will learn about the sacred chickens used by generals to seek divine guidance before battle. Beyond religion, the text covers the practical aspects of Roman life, including how birds were farmed, hunted, and kept as pets. This book also looks at the social implications of bird ownership. It explains how the consumption and keeping of certain birds served as a way for Romans to communicate their personal status and prestige. It is an essential resource for students and enthusiasts of ancient history and Mediterranean archaeology.
