  Explanation: The Sibylline Books were a collection of oracular utterances that the Romans would refer to in times of crisis. They were supposed to be highly poetic, and were written in Greek, requiring some amount of interpretation to find a relation to the current crisis at hand - especially since verses were chosen to be consulted essentially at random by ritual practices. Surely this method will give wholly practical and realistic advice
