TRIPU´DIUM[AUGURVol. 1. p. 250 b.]

Tripudium

Literally a triple beat or stroke; but used in the language of Roman augury of the most favourable omen (tripudium sollistimum) given by the sacred chickens when they ate their food so greedily that some of it fell from their beaks to the ground (Cic. De Div. ii. 34). See augur, p. 167.
