We just got a new Vestal named Clarita today! I always enjoy seeing new Vestals. She must not be above age seven! Clarita will now spend the next ten years being taught by the elders the way we do praise Vesta. She just replaced Sera, her thirty years were up. It is certainly refreshing to see a new face in this temple. Being with the same girls day after day can get a little bit boring!
Friend Request: Salve! i have noticed your familiar face at the Forum! I wish to ask you a few questions about my lessons as a teacher/mentor of Caesar!

Hello Fabia! my name is Julia and I was interested in coming to the temple to pray. You are about 20 years older than me so I feel you can teach me a lot about spirituality. I also think it is amazing that you are one of the few female priests in the empire!
