Vestal virgins![]() “The vestal virgins were girls ????? for a period of 30 years. In the first ten years they learned their duties, in the second ten they practiced them, and during the third they instructed the services. Beside tending the sacred fires, the vestals offered sacrifice and poured on the alter ????? of wine and oil. They occupied seats of honor at public games. Like the members of later Christians sisterhood, they were bound by vows not to marry“ ![]() If a vestal virgin broke her vow of virginity, she was sentenced to death. However, because there was a rule that nobody could spill the blood of a vestal virgin, the Romans circumvented this by sending them to a room. |
