“Throw the sacred chickens in the sea! If they aren’t hungry maybe they are thirsty” is possibly my favorite Roman quote.

Pulcher killed the sacred chickens when they didn't divine in his favor to go to battle at sea. He went into battle anyway and lost catastrophically. Not saying the two things are related but you might want to think about that next time you disrespect the sacred chickens.

Zero. Those chickens would Ned to be thousands of years old for that to be the case. Now, if you're asking what the chances are that a *descendant* of those chickens is currently chilling in your freezer, then I don't know.

I bought 2 packs of drumsticks earlier today. 1 shall go in the freezer. The other shall go in the oven. Placed in a 9 X 11 pan with half an inch of water. Half a cup of Kikkoman soy sauce and sprinkled with seasonal salt. Bake for 24 minutes at 400 degrees F . Then removed from oven, covered with Kraft sweet honey BBQ sauce. Put back in the oven for another 15 minutes and done. Can be served with potato salad or Bush's baked beans.

Not nearly as involved, but just this morning I took five chicken thighs (with the skin and bones already removed), cut them up in chunks, coated them in egg (which is kind of messed up if you think about it), rolled them in a mixture of breadcrumbs with some seasonings and a tiny pinch of cayanne pepper, then set them on a baking sheet at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Will be served with some cheese filled pasta and a side of brussle sprouts.

I've been loving the TV series "The Chosen" for innumerable reasons but the depiction of the Romans is incredibly fascinating (and they have American and British accents, funnily enough) in addition to understanding Jewish customs and culture so much better. But it's funny to me that today families will spread false rumors about their neighbors doing unsavory things, but "I heard he threw sacred chickens in the sea, can you believe that?" is definitely not one of them 😂

I remember when I visited a chicken farm. Farmer told us schoolkids, that chicken eat all the time, if there's food to be eaten. So if a chicken didn't eat, it might be ill and would be taken out to the veterinarian. So one could surmise, that if a roman consul had chicken that didn't eat, then he hadn't been taken care of them proper and that would reflect on how he would take care of his army.
@SabinStargemАй бұрын
There might be a basis for the prophetic abilities of chickens. Namely, like most fowl avians, they can detect magnetic changes. This means that things like impending earthquakes and storms can ruffle feathers. People took note of that, and therefore the birds must have a connection with the gods.

As someone who keeps chickens, i can relate to the romans. They are sacred the reason some of the chickens didnt eat was probably because they were scared because of all the big humans in battle gear
@philippedivine409Ай бұрын
I seem to recall that the way you kept your chickens hungry was to put tight bronze rings around their necks to keep them from swallowing. Somewhere near Sentinum there are a bunch of chicken bones and bronze rings belonging to sacred chickens that ran away just before a battle.

The history of Rome and Christianity is indeed a wacky adventure from a small mob deeply suspected of Nefarious Things to being an excuse to seize power, getting thrown out, taking it back, and then being the last pontifex standing when the emperor skipped town to Ravenna. If it’s a tale told by you, I will definitely listen.

You know, I've always wondered this one thing: Islam holds pigs as their holy animal Hinduism holds cows as their holy animal But I had always wondered what religion or people held chickens (or just any avian species, I suppose) on a similar level as cows and pigs do for Hinduism and Islam, making another addition to the "holy barnyard animals" that some might not come to realize that some of their farm animals are holy animals to people elsewhere in the world. But now I have been gifted this answer... and it was the Romans who held chickens as a holy animal (I'm still uncertain if Romans refused to actually eat chickens like Islam and Hinduism have in regards to cows and pigs... they are the Roman's afterall). It's nice to finally have my question answered.
