Comprehensive and thoroughly up-to-date, this volume offers a brand new analysis of the Vestal Virgins’ ritual function in Roman religion. Undertaking a detailed and careful analysis of ancient literary sources, Wildfang argues that the Vestals’ virginity must be understood on a variety of different levels and provides a solution to the problem of the Vestals’ peculiar legal status in ancient Rome. Addressing the one official state priesthood open to women at Rome, this volume explores and analyzes a range of topics including: the rituals enacted by priestesses (both the public rituals performed in connection with official state rites and festivals and the private rites associated only with the order itself) the division and interface between religion, state and family structure the Vestals’ participation in rights that were outside the sphere of traditional female activity. New and insightful, this investigation of one of the most important state cults in ancient Rome is an essential addition to the bookshelves of all those interested in Roman religion, history and culture.

ABSTRACT My dissertation studies the position of Vesta and her cult during the often overlooked period from Augustus through the late fourth century CE through an examination--and most often a reconsideration--of the available sources, such as coins, inscriptions, monuments, and various written accounts. Counter to most scholarship that argues for a close affiliation between Augustus and his wife Livia to Vesta and her priestesses, I demonstrate that he and other emperors kept the status quo and nothing more. Additionally, modern scholars incorrectly compare imperial women to Vestal Virgins due to faulty readings of the primary sources and the lack of other categories of women who held exceptional privileges. I also explore the perception of this goddess by the Romans, arguing that they viewed her as a mother figure (Vesta mater), and that her role as a tutelary deity was directly connected to the objects she guarded, especially the Palladium, which continued to hold significance for the Byzantines even after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Vesta was also strongly connected to the hearth and altars, and in imagery was often represented by a flame and not anthropomorphized like other gods. For this reason I believe that her worship throughout the empire would have been focused around these objects. I further investigate changes within the cult of Vesta and its personnel. This includes an analysis of the origins and function of the role of "priest of Vesta", a title which occurs for the first time in the fourth century CE, and an appraisal of changes that the Vestal Virgins experienced during this same century. Here I conclude that frequent absence of Roman emperors from the capitol city, as well as their increasing preference for Christianity, resulted in necessary modifications to cult practices, but not a loss of status or prestige.

Septimius Severus emerged victorious from the civil war of AD 193; he was not part of the traditional political elite, but instead a military commander from Africa, with a Syrian princess as his wife. To garner popular support and to legitimise his power Severus conducted an intensive propaganda campaign. This is the first monograph to examine the Secular Games (ludi saeculares), the magnificent festival which celebrated Septimius Severus as a bringer of peace and prosperity, and which also symbolised a new imperial ideology based on autocracy rather than the Antonine ideal of co-operation between ruler and Senate.

This study introduces a question, somewhat disregarded or discounted in recent years, regarding the link between the Vestals and early Christian consecrated virgins. In a political interpretation of the ancient Roman virginity cult, this work demonstrates that female virginity was understood by both Christian and non-Christian Romans as a symbolic analogue of the securely intact body politic.
