Peta Greenfield: Who were the Vestal Virgins, and what was their job? (2017x61)
Uitzenddatum: Mei 30, 2017
In ancient Rome, Vestal Virgins were tasked with keeping vigil over the flame of Vesta, the virgin goddess of the hearth. The flame represented two things: the continuation of Rome as a power in the world and the continuing virginity of Vesta's priestesses. But what was life really like for these Vestal Virgins? Peta Greenfield goes back in time to find out. [Directed by Kozmonot Animation Studio, narrated by Susan Zimmerman, music by Wonder Boy Audio].
