Vestal Virgin

In ancient Rome, the revered Vestal Virgins served as priestesses of Vesta, goddess of the hearth with great dedication. The College of Vestals was considered a cornerstone of Rome's enduring stability and security. These devoted women tended the sacred flame that never flickered out. Exempt from societal expectations to marry and raise children, they made a solemn vow of chastity to concentrate on mastering state rituals inaccessible to male priests.
