Vestal Virgins from Karen's Whimsy





From my collection of old mythology books come these images of the Vestal Virgins. They were the priestesses of Vesta. At Rome their number was at first four, but was increased to six during the last years of the kings. The time of service was thrity years: ten for learning, ten for performing, and ten for teaching the duties. At the end of this time, they were allowed to return to private life and to marry. (from Bulfinch's Mythology: The Age of Fable - 1903.) I hope these public domain images of the Vestal Virgins help you in your artistic endeavors.

Be sure to check my Public Domain Images often. More pictures are added regularly.
