Vesta

The living flame and the eternal pulse of the Roman State, Vesta is the goddess who never leaves her temple. She is the warmth of the city's communal heart, guarded by her virgin priestesses to ensure that the "sacred fire" of Rome never goes out. She represents the sanctity of the domestic space and the continuity of the civilization itself. She is the quiet, glowing center of the storm, the one who reminds us that as long as the hearth is lit, the empire can never truly fall.
