Augur        
  au.gur             
(First known use in 14th Century)

An augur holding alituus, the curved wand often used as a symbol of augury on roman coins

The Augur was a priest, and official in the ancient world, most notably in Rome.  His main role was the practice of augury; interpreting the will of the gods by studying the flight and habits of birds.  This was known as "taking the auspices."  The ceremony and function of the augur was central to any major undertaking in Roman society; public or private, including war, commerce and religion.  The Roman historian Livy stresses the importance of the augurs: "Who does not know that this city was founded only after taking the auspices, that everything in war and peace at home and abroad was done only after taking the auspices."
