Salvete,
I have a question that I hope someone will be able to answer.
Do we know who presided the consecration and inauguration of Roman temples? I would guess that in Rome this would be done by the flamen of an order. But seeing that (at least the flamines maiores) were not allowed to leave the city for more that 1 or 2 nights, I was wondering who would do this in the provinces.
Is anything known about this subject? Who would consecrate for example a temple in Germania Inferior, or in Britannia or...
Thank you very much in advance for your insights.
Valete,
Falco
