List of Roman augurs
The college of augurs was the most important religious body in ancient Rome after the pontifical college . Legend traces it back to Romulus and Remus , the city's founding fathers. To be an Augur was therefore one of the highest religious honors that could be bestowed on a Roman.
Membership in this college, which initially comprised three and later up to sixteen members, was co-opted and was in principle lifelong. Both ensured the independence of the augurs, who also had an extensive archive of decisions.
As the following list shows, membership of the Council of Augurs did not preclude other religious and political activities.
Towards the end of the republic, the college of augurs possessed dangerous social power due to its state-important tasks.
It is therefore no coincidence that the rulers of the state such as Sulla, Caesar, and Marc Anton were also augurs. Since Augustus at the latest, granting the emperor the title of august has become a matter of course, which at the same time led to political control of the body.
It is also noticeable that in the early imperial period many augurs later also held the proconsulate of the particularly rich and respected province of Asia .
Until the end of the republic, the list shows the augurs known by name to some extent. The names of the augurs during the imperial era are only listed here as examples. Local augurs (such as Marcus Tullius ) are not included.
