What Rome Did to Its Virgin Priestesses Was Worse Than You Think...

In 73 AD Rome, six-year-old Claudia Maxima is forcibly taken from her family to become a Vestal Virgin, enduring decades of imprisonment, abuse, and psychological torture disguised as sacred duty. After falling in love with gladiator Marcus Aurelius Corvus, she is condemned to be buried alive for breaking her vows of chastity. In 1899, archaeologist Professor Giovanni Boni discovers her preserved testimony and dozens of other Vestal remains, revealing that Rome's "sacred virgins" were actually victims of an elaborate system of control and exploitation. The evidence exposes how the Vestal system was designed to terrorize noble families and provide entertainment for the powerful under the guise of religious piety. Though the Vatican suppresses the findings, Boni secretly documents the truth, ensuring that Claudia's story and the horrors faced by countless Vestals would eventually be revealed.
