Since ancient Roman times, these magnificent birds have been recognised as signs of virility, as they were often used in cockfighting and sacrifices for ensuring a good harvest. .

In ancient Greece, cockerels loyally served many gods and were considered sacred by Apollo, Athena, Hermes and Asclepius.

The main qualities of the cockerel were courage, dignity, reliability, nobility and generosity, and they also symbolised masculine strength, fertility, protection, bravery and resurrection.

Cockerels can often be seen on weathervanes and roofs, as they were seen as a symbol of vigilance.

Roosters were often displayed in Roman houses, as they are today, because they were considered to bring

prosperity, fortune and good luck to your abode.

Even today, roosters are revered in many countries and cultures.
