Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This is the definitive work on the excavation of the Temple of Vesta. Dedicated to Vesta, the goddess of the hearth, the Temple of Vesta was one of the most ancient sanctuaries in the Roman Forum. The priestesses of Vesta, known as the Vestal Virgins - Rome's only female priests - were in charge of keeping the sacred fire housed in the temple, while they themselves lived in the Atrium Vestae at the eastern edge of the Roman Forum, between the Regia (originally the residence of the kings of Rome) and the Palatine Hill.Together, the Atrium Vestae, the Temple of Vesta, and the Regia formed the religious center of the Roman state until a fire destroyed much of Rome and largely burnt all three buildings to the ground in 64 CE. Over the years, numerous excavations have taken place in the area, and have often produced unreliable results. In ""Excavations in the Area Sacra of Vesta (1987-1996)"", Russell Scott sets out to compile a definitive chronology of the history of the Atrium Vestae, clarifying much of the earlier research. Dedicated to Vesta, the goddess of the hearth, the Temple of Vesta was one of the most ancient sanctuaries in the Roman Forum. The priestesses of Vesta, known as the Vestal Virgins - Rome's only female priests - were in charge of keeping the sacred fire housed in the temple. This title compiles a chronology of the history of the Atrium Vestae. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
