The Vestal Priestesses were initiated at the age of 10-11 and served the Goddess for a vow of 30 years.
They followed the rules of the shrines and lived for the Goddess.
If they broke any rules, they would be physically punished.
And if they broke a vow, they would be buried alive.
In return, they had great prestige and many rights.
Esoteric rights included
How do some members feel about this Roman lifestyle? Giving up many things for the sake of continuous service to a god for a large part of one's life?
Is that noble?
Or do you think the ancients were wrong?
Or that this is a lie?
I welcome more information on this topic in the responses.
