Resumo: | Vestals had political and religious power in ancient Rome. Their peaceful presence at the forum was one of the first attempts (if not the first) in favor of gender equality or women’s empowerment in the public sphere. Vestals were virgin priestesses of a goddess that protected the walls of Rome with her perpetual fire, which was pure and had no statue. Their rituals were based on legends such as Amata or Rhea Silvia that, regardless of being true or not, were religious and cultural references for people's lives and should not be neglected, because they contain information that explains why the State respected the vestals and punished them so severely. |

A sua presença pacificadora, no fórum, foi uma das primeiras tentativas (se não a primeira) das mulheres alcançarem algum tipo de igualdade de género ou autoridade na cena pública. As vestais eram sacerdotisas virgens de uma deusa que protegia os muros de Roma com o seu fogo perpétuo, que era pura e não tinha estátua. Os seus rituais eram baseados em lendas, tais como de Amata ou de Reia Sílvia, que independentemente de terem existido ou não, eram referências religiosas e culturais. As suas histórias influenciavam a vida das pessoas e não devem ser negligenciadas, pois contêm informações que explicam as razões pelas quais o Estado respeitava tanto as vestais e as punia tão severamente.ISEG - CEsA/ CSGRepositório da Universidade de LisboaGalito, Maria Sousa2018-06-27T10:39:26Z20182018-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/15729engGalito, Maria Sousa (2018).
