I bet the admiral laughed bitterly when he lost the battle afterwards! :-)<br>
It is indeed a funny anecdote, but the morale of the story is plainly obvious, so is this a good representative for the Roman mind?<br>
The full story is that the sacred chickens were supposed to eat their food to show that the outcome of the battle would be good. They didn't, were drowned by the admiral and the Romans lost...<br>
That would nearly make one religious, the Roman way, that is! ;-)<br>
