Delve into the history of the Temple of the Vestal Virgins, where young women served for 30 years under various emperors, elevated to nearly divine status. Their paramount duty was tending the sacred fire of Vesta, symbolizing the heart of Rome. Legend has it that Rome's prosperity depended on the eternal flame remaining alight.
