Explanation: As noted, the ancient Romans were very fond of portents, good and bad, whose form could take essentially anything mildly unusual. From how many birds you saw, to tripping as you step off of a boat, to being met by an unexpected person upon returning from a trip. This, of course, is CLEARLY an omen! But... is the omen good or bad...?

I would say most ancient societies did. In India, (still today) we have "shagun/aphagun" (good/bad omens) where possibly washing your hair on some day could lead you to drowning and so on
