lituus
The word ''lituus'' originally meant a curved augural staff (cp. "crozier") or a curved war-trumpet in the ancient Latin language. This Latin word continued in use through the 18th century as an alternative to the vernacular names of various musical instruments.
==Roman ritual wand==
The ''lituus'' was a crooked wand (similar in shape to the top part of a crosier) used as a cult instrument in ancient Roman religion by augurs to mark out a ritual space in the sky (a templum). The passage of birds through this ''templum'' indicated divine favor or disfavor for a given undertaking.
The ''lituus'' was also used as a symbol of office for the college of the augurs to mark them out as a priestly group.
