Q:Information: - In the legendary history of ancient Rome , Attus Navius was a famous augur during the reign of Tarquinius Priscus . When the latter desired to increase the number of the equestrian centuries , and to name them in his own honour , Navius opposed him , declaring that it must not be done unless the omens were propitious , and , as a proof of his powers of divination , cut through a whetstone with a razor . Navius 's statue , with head veiled ( capite velato ) , stood in the Comitium , next to the senate - house ( Livy 1.36.5 ) ; the whetstone and razor were buried in the same place , and a puteal placed over them . According to Dionysius it was Tarquinius Priscus who set the statue up , ' in front of the senate - house near the sacred fig - tree ; it was shorter than a man of average height and the head was covered ' . The sacred fig - tree was named after Attius Navius : Navian . It was reported that Navius was subsequently put to death by Tarquinius . According to Schwegler , the puteal originally indicated that the place had been struck by lightning , and the story is a reminiscence of the early struggle between the state and ecclesiasticism . - The 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 are flying in groups or alone, what noises they make as they fly, direction of flight and what kind of birds they are. This was known as "taking the auspices." The ceremony and function of the augur was central to any major undertaking in Roman societypublic or privateincluding matters of war, commerce, and religion. - Birds (Aves), also known as avian dinosaurs, are a group of endothermic vertebrates, characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a lightweight but strong skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the bee hummingbird to the ostrich. They rank as the class of tetrapods with the most living species, at approximately ten thousand, with more than half of these being passerines, sometimes known as perching birds or, less accurately, as songbirds. - A civilization, or civilisation (see spelling differences), is any complex society characterized by urban development, social stratification, symbolic communication forms (typically, writing systems), and a perceived separation from and domination over the natural environment by a cultural elite. Civilizations are intimately associated with and often further defined by other socio-politico-economic characteristics, including centralization, the domestication of both humans and other organisms, specialization of labour, culturally ingrained ideologies of progress and supremacism, monumental architecture, taxation, societal dependence upon farming as an agricultural practice, and expansionism. - Ancient Rome was an Italic civilization that began on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 8th century BC. Located along the Mediterranean Sea and centered on the city of Rome, it expanded to become one of the largest empires in the ancient world with an estimated 50 to 90million inhabitants (roughly 20% of the world's population) and covering 5.0millionsquarekilometers at its height in AD 117. - Augury is the practice from ancient Roman religion of interpreting omens from the observed flight of birds ("aves"). When the individual, known as the augur, interpreted these signs, it is referred to as "taking the auspices". 'Augur' and 'auspices' are from the Latin "auspicium" and "auspex", literally "one who looks at birds." Depending upon the birds, the auspices from the gods could be favorable or unfavorable ("auspicious" or "inauspicious"). Sometimes bribed or politically motivated augures would fabricate unfavorable auspices in order to delay certain state functions, such as elections. Pliny the Elder attributes the invention of auspicy to Tiresias the seer of Thebes, the generic model of a seer in the Greco-Roman literary culture. What is the relationship between 'attus navius' and 'priest'?
