Connection to Sibylline Oracles

After the burning of the Sibylline Books, ambassadors were sent out to make a new collection of oracles, now called the Sibylline Oracles. A total of 14 books out of this collection still survive today, although many more once existed. However some of the prophecies in this new set are believed to be fraudulent because many people at the time were pretending to be sibyls when they were not.
