The Sodales Augustales or Sacerdotes Augustales,〔Tacitus, The Annals 1.83〕 or simply Augustales,〔Tacitus, The Annals 1.54〕〔CIL 10.1624; ILS 156〕 were an order (''sodalitas'') of Roman priests instituted by Tiberius to attend to the maintenance of the cult of Augustus and the Iulii in 14 AD. The ''sodales'' were chosen by lot among the principal persons of Rome, and were twenty one in number, to which were added Tiberius, Drusus, Claudius and Germanicus, as members of the imperial family.〔 Women might be appointed priestesses of Augustus, a practice probably originating in the appointment of Livia by a decree of the Senate as priestess to her deceased husband.〔Dio. LVI. 46〕 A flamen could also be a member of the Augustales.〔Orelli, Inscrip. 2366, 2368〕 Among the ruins at Herculaneum is a collegial shrine with elaborate wall paintings identified as that maintained by the local Augustales. Several cities had six Augustales (''Seviri Augustales''). ==See also== *Titii * Sodalitas 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sodales Augustales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
