Omen in the flight of birds, 1742-1801. Romulus and Remus are looking for an omen in a flight of birds. The number of birds determines which of the twins has the right to found a city and to give it his name. Romulus is on the left of the Tiber River and sees more birds fly by than Remus on the right side.
