Question

On the third day of a June festival honoring this deity, flower necklaces were presented to a donkey that was showered with bread. Ashes, beanstalks, and October Horse blood were used to make suffimen in this deity's temple. In two stories in Ovid's Fasti, both Lotis and this deity are saved when woken by a donkey at a feast. New brides (-5[2])were instructed to avoid stepping on a home's threshold since it was sacred (-5[1])to this deity. This deity's temple (-5[2])was erected in the Roman forum by Numa Pompilius, (-5[1])who housed a statue of Pallas Athena in it. King Amulius forced one of Numitor's children to become (-5[1])a dedicatee of this deity (10[2])to ensure an end to his family line. The pontifex maximus (10[1])chose those who took 30-year (10[1])vows (10[1])to watch over this deity's sacred hearth. For 10 points, name this Roman equivalent of Hestia whose (10[1])priestesses were sworn virgins. (10[1])■END■ (10[2])
