The germ of the proverbial expression lies in the superstition which connected the right foot with good omens and the left foot with bad ones. This arose from the care to be observed in entering temples and other consecrated places on the right foot as we see from Vitruv. 3, 3, 4. So in Petron. c. 30, the slave enjoins upon the guests to enter the banquet hall dextro pede for the sake of the omen. other hand sinistro pede is ill-omened, as in Apul. met. 1, 5 sinistro pede profectum; Sen. ben. 2, 12, 2 non hoc est rem publicam calcare et ... sinistro pede; Ovid, ib. 101.
