the beginning of these notes is the same as greece, because the romans copied the greeks!

The Sanctuary = the holy bit in a town or city that had the altar for a god. you had to be NOT polluted. to become not polluted you had to wash or bathe, which is why there was usually a fresh water source for ppl to wash their hands & feet at the entrance (a bit like wudu in islam).
in rome, it didn't have to be specific to 1 god or goddess. 

 

what made you polluted?

  • everything (jkjk...)
  • smn in the family had died
  • you've touched a dead person (idk why you would even do that)
  • if you've touched a new-born (or given birth...)
  • if you've commited homicide. or killed smn on purpose, but i doubt you'd go pray after murder

What was a temple used for?= it housed a cult statue of a god. a cult
