Alphitomancy (from Greek: ἄλφιτον, romanized: alphiton, lit. 'barley', and μαντεία, manteia, 'divination') is a form of divination involving barley cakes or loaves of barley bread. When someone in a group was suspected of a crime, the members of the group would be fed or slices of barley bread. Supposedly, the guilty party would get indigestion, while all others would feel well.
