Flamen (Nova Roma)

Revision as of 20:01, 12 March 2007

The Flamen

The sources tell us that the flamen (pl., flamines) was a sacerdos proper, and who was dedicated to the service of a particular deity. A number of sources fix the number of flamines at fifteen (three maiores and twelve minores), however the names of only twelve of these are known with certainty.
