Description: This paper calls into question the commonly accepted distinction between the haruspices-principes summoned from Etruria for the procuratio prodigiorum and the haruspices-attendants of magistrates in matters of extispicy. Just as the haruspices-attendants in the colonies or municipia could belong to the local aristocracy, so too the members of the ordo LX haruspicum, in the Imperial period, often belonged to the Roman equestrian aristocracy. The sources do not corroborate the hypothesis of a dichotomy between harupices-μάντεις and haruspices-θύται. The haruspices who appear to have settled in Rome at the turn of the 3rd and 2nd centuries B. C., as later those who, under the Empire, were members of the ordo LX haruspicum, were consulted in both procuratio prodigiorum and extispicy.
