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...?

Would it be taken as a sign to invade France, not invade France, eat a French bread sub sandwich for lunch, or ...?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

All of that. Just to be safe.

The Omen of the Blind Hound:
Émile felt a chill. "A blind beagle revealed our tricolor," he whispered. The Prodigiae’s voice echoed in the dim chamber: "An omen urging France to stand alone; alliances will falter."
