{{LanguageBar|Flamen (Nova Roma)}} <onlyinclude>The [[Flamen (Nova Roma)|Flamines]] are thirteen priests who serve specific deities - though they are allowed to worship other deities as well. The sources tell us that the flamen (pl., ''flamines'') was a ''sacerdos'' proper, and who was dedicated to the service of a particular deity. A number of sources fix the number of ''flamines'' at fifteen (three ''maiores'' and twelve ''minores''), however the names of only thirteen of these are known with certainty. The ''flamines'' hold public rites on the days sacred to their deity, and oversee the general worship of that deity. The ''flamines'' are present in the [[Collegium Pontificum (Nova Roma)|Collegium Pontificum]]. ===Flamines Maiores=== {|width="100%" |- | ====Flamen Dialis==== Position not open at this time. The [[Flamen Dialis]] serves the cult of [[Iuppiter|Iuppiter (Jupiter)]], and participates in the Vinalia festivals and at conferratio marriage ceremonies. This priesthood is subject to a large number of complex taboos which have not yet been resolved for reconstruction. The wife of the Flamen Dialis was known as the Flaminica Dialis, and assisted in the rites and was subject to the same taboos. |{{PositionNotOpen}} |- | ====Flamen Martialis==== The Flamen Martialis oversees the cult of [[Mars]], the God of War, leading public rites on the days sacred to Mars. |{{PositionOpen}} |- | ====Flamen Quirinalis==== The Flamen Quirinalis oversees the cult of [[Quirinus]], a god related to the peaceful aspect of Mars, who presides over organized Roman social life.
