Head Vestal Virgin 
(Greek and at a mere 28 years of age, she is just eight years shy of her retirement from the Vestal College. It is her primary function to instruct the Novices and guard them from any hint of impropriety.

Novice Vestal Virgin 
(Roman and fundamentally pure in heart, although her head was twice turned--once by a soldier and once by a slave; both considered scoundrels unbefitting of her lofty station. Alas! Camane's pure heart belongs to the goddess Vesta) -- <a href="http://z15.invisionfree.com/pompeii/index.php?showtopic=78">Read More!</a></td>

Greek Seer - Temple of Apollo

Priestess - Temple of Dionysus

He's an old man after all, and quite revered in Pompeii. If she could but woo the Philosopher and marry him, she is certain to inherit his wealth and upstanding nobility once he croaks.

Roman Aristocrat; Owner of Bacchus Vineyards 
(He cares nothing for women and it would seem even less for his thrall, Damos. Marius is all work and no play, making him the dullest ogre in all of Pompeii. Most people do not like him, and of those who DO like him, he doesn't often like them back. He rules his home, his business affairs, and his slaves with an iron fist. -- <a href="http://z15.invisionfree.com/pompeii/index.php?showtopic=65">Read More!</a></td>

 Roman Aristocrat and Senator
