• Astragaloscopy — An ancient divinatory practice (astragalomancy) that consisted of predicting the future or interpreting the will of the gods by throwing and examining the position of animal ankle bones (astragali), used as primitive dice. This structural method of divination was highly widespread in Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and Asia Minor, being verified by numerous artifacts discovered in archaeological sites and sanctuaries.
