1. Vesta (mythology)
   Vestales was Rea Silvia, who with Mars conceived Romulus and Remus (see founding of Rome). The Vestales were one of the few full time clergy positions in Roman religion. They had to observe absolute chastity for 30 years (they were also called the Vestal virgins). They could not show excessive care of their person, and they must not let the fire go out. If a Vestal broke her vow of chastity before the 30 years were up, she was condemned to be buried alive in the Campus Sceleris (camp of damned people); this is what probably happened to Rea Silvia.

The ground was tinted light brown, sometimes reddish, or yellow ocher in color. Next, Van Goyen would loosely and very rapidly sketch out the scene to be painted with pen and ink without going into the small details of

    Herdsman A herdsman is a worker who lives a semi-nomadic life, caring for various domestic animals, especially in places where these animals wander unfenced pasture lands. Because their work is necessarily mostly outdoors, they move around from place to place in the course of their labours, and the lands upon which their beasts graze are seldom claimed as any single person's property, a number of romantic legends have sprung up around their way of life.
