Definition
A Roman priest or soothsayer who practiced divination by examining the entrails of sacrificed animals, especially the liver.
Etymology
From Latin 'haruspex,' possibly derived from Etruscan origins (har- meaning 'entrails' + -spex meaning 'to look'). The practice was central to Roman religious and political decision-making.
Kelly Says
Haruspices were essentially ancient supercomputers—Romans wouldn't declare war or hold elections without consulting them, and they wielded tremendous political power by interpreting animal organs, showing how belief systems shape societies!
