🌟10 MILLION views!🌟
We’re celebrating a milestone today! Dr G’s TED-Ed collaboration on the Vestal Virgins has reached over 10 million people across the globe. Just goes to show how these amazing priestesses continue to capture our fascination thousands of years after the closure of the aedes in the forum.
The eternal flame of Vesta continues to burn in our hearts.
Huge kudos the animators and production team who helped bring this project to life - the artistry is still something I admire to this day. You can check out the video and the lesson that accompanies it in the link in our bio 😁

The #Vestals
Young women from #Patrician-only families (later expanded to #Plebian families) were chosen to serve as Vestals. They had to remain celibate for 30 years, but after their service, were free to marry. Unlike most Roman women, they “were free to own property, make a will, and #vote.”
They were given the responsibility of maintaining #Vesta’s #SacredFire, “collecting water from a #SacredSpring, preparation of food used in rituals and caring for sacred objects in the temple's sanctuary.”
They made a special flour, “mola salsa,” that was “sprinkled on all public offerings” to the gods. They were also in charge of the safekeeping of wills and testaments of prominent people, such as Casear and

#LegalStatus of Women in Ancient #Rome
During the early days of Rome, daughters “had equal rights with sons to a share of the family property” (Rawson, 18) when the father died. Despite #GuardianshipLaws passed in #169BC, Roman women managed to acquire property and wealth.
While women were not allowed to hold political offices (only religious positions), some women, like the #VestalVirgins, were exempt from #guardianship laws.
