“She said, ‘There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.’
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well’ve been closed”

Julius Caesar was appointed as the high priest of Jupiter (some say Marius wanted to remove him from the regular course of advancement through the ranks of offices for some reason)and his domicile was in the House of the Vestal Virgins during the time in which he held that office.

Colleen McCulloch wrote a wonderful book “Caesar’s Women” on that period of his life. (no jokes please—although he was a notable womanizer, Caesar never crossed the line with regard to the Virgins as that would have been an unforgiveable offense, meriting death by being thrown from the Tarpeian Rock.)

So today, with the reopening of some of that temple/dormitory of the Vestal Virgins, you will be able to walk through the roooms in which Caesar lived and worked.

Too much for the mind to grasp.
