dc.description.abstract'Sortes' (lit. "lots") were employed to foretell the future, and as a method of DIVINATION were used by both Greeks and Romans. In the Roman Empire at the temple of FORTUNA in PRAENESTE verses of Vergil were inscribed on wooden tablets, one of which would be drawn randomly in a consultation and interpreted. Sortes could take the form of the random consultation of a book such as Homer's 'Iliad'; the lines so found were interpreted as having prophetic meaning.en
