“Divination bones” Replica Roman astragali
This issue will be focused on the exploration of the tools of divination across centuries and culture. This idea of foretelling future events has been with us for centuries, Caesar made decisions based on what the Oracle prophesied (or the entrails). Politics and future spouses… it seems that divination plays an important role in history be it Astragalomancy, “rolling the bones” (which were originally the knuckle bones of animals), discussing business deals or dissecting the politics of empire with an astrologer as seen in the smoke of a sacrifice.
