Sacra privata embraced, as we have stated, those which were performed on behalf of a gens, a family, or an individual. The characteristic by which they were distinguished from the sacra publica, is that they were made at the expense of those persons or person on whose behalf they were performed.

[edit] Sacra Gentilicia

Sacra specific to an individual gens.

[edit] Sacra Municipalia

Among the sacra privata were reckoned also the sacra municipalia, that is, such sacra as a commu­nity or town had been accustomed to perform be­fore it had received the Roman franchise. After this event, the Roman pontiffs took care that they were continued in the same manner as before. (Fest. s. v. Municipalia sacra ; comp. Ambrosch, Stud,, u. Andcut. p. 215.)
