The Vestal Virgins

This is a video about the legendary virgins of Vesta. I made this video as a tribute to them. I recommend their story to those, who have vivid imagination.The music of the film is created by Mediaevil Baebes:Salva Nos.

women of virtue, honesty, decency, purity and justice considered to be the heart of the welfare of the roman state. what does this say about the condition of our society today.

@iorixs It means,that nowadays women are not considered to be sacred anymore,moreover,they willingly choose impurity. That is the condition what makes Vestal Virgins more honorable in our age.

Great video. Is there any movies about them?

[Schmok66]

@asteroid684 No,unfortunately, I do not know any of them,that are completely about Vestas.

It is quite obvious that the Vestales must have had sexual relationships with the pontifex maximus. These were called "sacred (secret) rituals".

Excellent! Last year I looked everywhere for a good video about the Vestal Virgins and gave up after not finding one. Thank you for creating this video.

@Darklordsslave yes.they are active mainly in North Italy.they kindle the stakes of Vesta in every year,especially in winter to give them warmth and defense.
