Roman Religion Overview

Nine augures were high priests assisting magistrates in taking the auspices advising the Senate and the magistrates on various aspects of divination, not the least of which was the proper handling of prodigies and portents. They created templa, or sacred spaces.

The Collegium Augurum is the second rank of the four major priestly colleges in Nova Roma, too. The duties of the augures include taking auspices before military and political actions, before the holding of the comitia centuriata or the comitia populi tributa, consecrating the sites of temples and shrines, overseeing the laws of augury (Ius augurium — the discipline or art of augury itself) and advising the Senate.
