330 .. $a "A Place at the Altar illuminates a previously underappreciated dimension of religion
in ancient Rome: the role of priestesses in civic cult. Demonstrating that priestesses
had a central place in public rituals and institutions, Meghan DiLuzio emphasizes
the complex, gender-inclusive nature of Roman priesthood. In ancient Rome, priestly
service was a cooperative endeavor, requiring men and women, husbands and wives, and
elite Romans and slaves to work together to manage the community's relationship with
its gods. Like their male colleagues, priestesses offered sacrifices on behalf of
the Roman people, and prayed for the community's well-being. As they carried out their
ritual obligations, they were assisted by female cult personnel, many of them slave
women. DiLuzio explores the central role of the Vestal Virgins and shows that they
occupied just one type of priestly office open to women. Some priestesses, including
the flaminica Dialis, the regina sacrorum, and the wives of the curial priests, served
as part of priestly couples. Others, such as the priestesses of Ceres and Fortuna
Muliebris, were largely autonomous. A Place at the Altar offers a fresh understanding
of how the women of ancient Rome played a leading role in public cult"
