This book examines the role of the flaminicae, the priestesses of the imperial cult under Augustus, in their specific regional context, using mainly epigraphical sources. The first part of the book analyzes various aspects of the flamen/flaminica, including their titles, geographical and chronological diffusion, relationships to their communities, functions, roles in cult, and distinctive elements of costume. The second part gives a prosopographical account of noted priestesses, organized by region and emphazing the social and economic relationships of each woman to her community.
