Answer:

Explanation:

I think in Romen days, bad omens could be more actively dealt with, by countersigns or spoken formula. Before his campaign against Perseus of Macedon, the consul L Aemilius Paullus was said to have heard of the Death of Perseus, his daughter's puppy. He interpreted this as a favorable omen and defeated King Perseus at the Battle of Pydna (168 BC).

Answer:

Is this enough?

Like the Greeks, the Romans were very superstitious. Headaches they believed could be cured by taking an herb found growing near the heads of statues and wrapping them around one's neck. Inscribed tablets of lead and clay were buried to bring gamblers good luck at the hippodrome and lovers success in their pursuits. Caesar feared dreams.

Haruspicy, the study of a the liver of a sacrif iced animal, was widely practiced in Rome. The liver was mapped out and read like a palm. Parents hung -shaped amulets around the necks of their children to ward off the evil eye. Grit left in wine goblets was read for fortunes. The word "fortune” comes from the Latin word fortuna. Fortuna was the goddess of wisdom, prophecy and the dead. She was also known as Lady Luck.

The expression “getting up on the wrong side of the bed” supposedly evolved from getting up on the "right side”, which in turn grew out the Roman belief that the left side was evil. The the Latin word for "left" is “sinister” and first "footmen" were hired by Roman nobles to makes sure guests entered their houses right foot first.According to some sources, breaking a mirror was considered bad luck as early as the first century AD in Rome, where Romans believed that mirrors could be used to tell fortunes and breaking them brought the bad luck, which lasted for seven years because that was how long it took for the body to rejuvenate.

It probably could be in question format but it most likely isn't since it is called a thesis STATEMENT, not a thesis question.
