The Sibylline Books (Libri Sibyllini) consisted of oracular statements/prophecies, that were consulted during various crises throughout Roman history. Little remains of them today however as they were mostly lost over time and/or deliberately destroyed by the early Christians who sought to persecute and eradicate the teachings and followers of the pre-christian (pagan) Greco-Roman religion.
