Caligula, 16 March 37 - 24 January 41 A.D.
|Caligula|, |Caligula,| |16| |March| |37| |-| |24| |January| |41| |A.D.|, Vesta was originally a household spirit. Later she was personified as the goddess of the hearth and given the stature of her Greek equivalent, Hestia. In the temple of Vesta, her sacred flame was kept alive by Vestal Virgins. In 394, by order of the Christian emperor Theodosius I in his campaign to eliminate pagan practices in Rome, the fire of Vesta was extinguished.
