Quotes by Sarolta A. Takács (?)

“It seems that all the festivals in July were held in groves outside the city and began in times so ancient that their origins and purposes were unknown even to Varro.”
― Sarolta A. Takács, Vestal Virgins, Sibyls, and Matrons: Women in Roman Religion

― Sarolta A. Takács, Vestal Virgins, Sibyls, and Matrons: Women in Roman Religion
