Notice Sur Les Vestales. (Mém., Soc. Fr. De Num. Et D'arch.). [French]

By Jacques Marchant

Notice Sur Les Vestales, by Jacques Marchant, delves into the fascinating history of the Vestal Virgins in ancient Rome. This study, extracted from the M moires de la Soci t Fran aise de Numismatique et d'Arch ologie, examines the role and significance of these priestesses, who were dedicated to the goddess Vesta and responsible for maintaining the sacred fire. The work offers valuable insights into Roman religious practices, social structures, and the lives of women in antiquity.

Marchant's meticulous research provides a detailed look at the Vestals' duties, privileges, and the consequences they faced for failing to uphold their vows. This historical account remains a significant contribution to the understanding of Roman culture and religious life.
