If you like dice games and prophecies, Astragalo is your app!
Astragalomancy, Astragalomanteia in Latin, also known as Astragyromancy or Cleromancy, is an ancient Greek and Roman art of divination, performed by rolling dice. According to a greek myth known thanks to the "Proverbs" Zenobia (first century A.D.) it is said that Athena invented this art.
Near the altar of Aphrodite Ourania in Athens, marked astragali have been found, suggesting Astragalomancy was performed near the altar after about 500 BC.
The emperor Tiberius often went to see the "Oracle of Geryon "at the Baths of Abano, where a priest foresaw the future by three golden dice. The systems in use in Roman times then passed in the Middle Ages.
Now with this modern version, you can "consult the oracle" and seek advice from the gods.
