Answer:

Step-by-step 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).
