Ceres was served by a flamen Cerealis, usually a plebeian. These included those of Bacchus, Cybele, and Isis, leaving only Quirinus' flamen to worship him. Her priest was called the "flamen Pomonalis". He had his own minor flamen, a high priest, the "Flamen Volturnalis". He was assisted by another priest, known as the "flamen curialis". This was the traditional outfit during a ritual or sacrifice performed by the flamen. After marriage of the Flamen and Flaminica they could not be separated or divorced. There were also several other privileges that the Flamen possessed. The importance of the Flamen dress is that it represented status. In the case of the Flamen Dials they were appointed by the Pontifex Maximus. The distinctive headgear of the flamen was the "apex". The Flaminica Dialis was the wife of the "Flamen Dialis". The Flamen Dialis enjoyed many peculiar honours. In 40 BC Antony took up his appointment as "flamen" of the "divus Julius". The Flamen priesthood was dedicated to various deities of the Roman state.
