Extrait du document
Roman In ancient Rome, a special priest
ordained to offer daily tributes to particular gods in
the Roman pantheon. The flamens were responsible
for organizing daily sacrifices to the gods, and were
exempt from taxation and military duty. It was a
peculiarity of Roman dictators and emperors that
they accepted deification during their lifetimes, and
so were allowed to have their own flamens who
would honor them. Thus Mark Antony was a flamen,
or priest, of Julius Caesar.
The flamens are historical, rather than mythological
people, but they carried on some of the traditions
of ancient peoples, such as the ritual sacrifices to
particular gods.
