Description

Explore the history and visual legacy of Rome's most influential women in Portraits of the Vestal Virgins. Published by the University of Michigan Press, this book by Molly M. Lindner examines how the priestesses of the goddess Vesta were represented through sculpture. For over eleven hundred years, these women served as protectors of the Roman state. While under the supervision of the Pontifex Maximus, the Vestal Virgins held unique privileges that set them apart from most women of their time. They possessed the power to dispense favors and exert influence for their clients and relatives, much like Roman men. This work looks at the archaeological significance of their history, including the recovery of the Vestals' house and their statues. Through the lens of Roman archaeology, readers can learn about the major discoveries made in the field, such as those by Rodolfo Lanciani, the Director of Antiquities for Rome, in 1883. This book provides a detailed look at the sculptural presentations that defined these women in the eyes of ancient society.
