10 Details from the Daily Life of Vestal Young Women in Ancient Rome
For thousands of years in ancient Rome, young women were chosen to devote their entire lives to make sure a fire in the Temple of Vesta never went out. These were the Vestal Virgins, chosen for their purity at a young age to keep the gods happy in order to bring prosperity to Roman civilization, Vesta was the goddess of fire, and they believed that a sacred fire in the temple needed to burn 24 per 7 in order to make her happy, If the fire continued to burn, the city of Rome would continue to prosper during battle, but if it ever went out, civilization would fall into turmoil. This is why there needed to be someone tending to the fire at all hours of the day and night.
