Explanation: As noted, the ancient Romans were very fond of portents, good and bad, whose form could take essentially anything mildly unusual. From how many birds you saw, to tripping as you step off of a boat, to being met by an unexpected person upon returning from a trip. This, of course, is CLEARLY an omen! But... is the omen good or bad...?

What's the red and blue bit then?

(Sorry French folks, I love you. Except some of the ones in Paris. I only tolerate you. I seriously can't eat bread so stop being dicks).
