  • This article deals with the priestesses of the imperial cult in the cities of Italy and the western provinces of the Roman Empire in the first three centuries AD. On the basis of a corpus of 258 inscriptions set up by, or for, these priestesses the nature of their priesthood is studied. Special attention is paid to the titles used for them (flaminica and sacerdos) and the various additions to these titles, their geographical and chronological distribution, and the relationship between these titles and the status and priestly function of the priestesses in question.
