An Augur was a priest and official in the classical Roman world. His main role was the practice of augury: Interpreting the will of the gods by studying the flight of birds – whether they were flying in groups or alone, what noises they made as they flew, direction of flight, and what kind of birds they were. This was known as "taking the auspices".

This painting of the Augur has many eyes to keep track of many auspices at once. It is 1/1 and based on an original acrylic painting by Artist Johnny Otto.
