Note 128 — Chapter I · THE EARLIEST CONSTITUTION OF ROME

Cic. de Div. ii. 33, 70 (the difficulty of answering for results may appeal to a Marsus augur but not to a Roman) “non enim sumus ii nos augures, qui avium reliquorumve signorum observatione futura dicamus.” Cf. i. 58, 132 “Non habeo ... nauci Marsum augurem, non vicanos haruspices, non de circo astrologos, non Isiacos conjectores, non interpretes somniorum. Non enim sunt ii aut scientia aut arte divini.”
