宗教在古罗马生活中起到了重要的角色,因古罗马妇女在罗马宗教中特殊的地位和角色,故深受国内外学者的关注。维斯塔贞女负责参拜和照看永不熄灭的火种,虽只有六名六到十岁处女所组成的小群体,然而却拥有无比崇高的地位,是罗马城邦得以延续的保障,但她们崇高的地位却是以保持性贞洁为代价。维斯塔贞女虽不具代表性,但在显示和确立女性的社会地位上起到了十分特殊的重要地位。 Religion played an important role in the ancient Roman life. Because of the special status and role of ancient Roman women in Roman religion, religion is deeply concerned by scholars at home and abroad. Virgin of Vesta is responsible for worshiping and watching the everlasting fire. Although only a small group of six six to ten-year-old virgins hold a very high status, it is the guarantee for the continuance of the Roman city state. However, their lofty Its status is at the expense of maintaining its virginity. The virgin virginity, though unrepresentative, plays a very special and important role in displaying and establishing the social status of women.
