Where did the daughters go? A research on the lack of candidates for the function of Vestal Virgin, seen from the perspective of elite competition during the Late Roman Republic and the Early Roman Empire.

Master thesis | History (MA)

A research on the lack of candidates for the function of Vestal Virgin, one of the most important priesthoods in Ancient Rome. Seen from the perspective of elite competition, this thesis shows that religion and politics were completely intertwined and that the elite daughters were used by their families for the political games of elite competition.
