Vestal virgins were the"supermodels" of the Ancient Rome
Vestal virgins were in charge of maintaining the Vesta temple sacred flame burning. They served for 30 years after that they were allowed to marry, loose chastity and received a ton of money.
Do you see the similarity with medieval convents designs ? If no, look from above.
Não sobrou muito do edifício, mas a história do local e das pessoas que o frequentavam o torna especial. Só as virgens que mantinham o fogo de Roma aceso e o imperador podiam entrar lá.
De las piezas mejor conservadas del foro.
Aproveche de sacarse una foto como una estatua cuando nadie lo vea
