The Priests, The Sacerdotes
The priests of the Empire carry the highest social status of all. A priest can even rival the emperor/empress in command. Many hold the priests as their leader and not the emperor/empress as they fear the priests supposed powers gifted to them by the gods and godesses. However it is evident that a priest holds power and respect in the Empire. Some may think they hold too much.

Rankings for the Priests
The Priest Circle
The priest circle is a circle of 5 head priests. They manage over all of the priests in the Empire and take a head role in the politics in Roma. The members of the priest circle are master healers and are very devoted to worship of the gods and goddesses.
Temple Priest
A priest who values the worship of the gods and goddesses more than to use their healing on the citizens of the Empire. Temple priests usually stay inside the temple under the eyes of the priest circle and devote their time to worship of the gods and goddesses. Temple priests also run the temple and can deny any common folk access to the temples at any given time. Some temple priests can take on the role of scholars and teach apprentice priests at times.
Common Priest
A common priest is the opposite of a temple priest. A common priest will devote their time to healing in Roma instead of taking all of their time towards the gods and goddesses. However, a common priest knows the same amount of knowledge of the gods and goddesses as a temple priest. Common priests often live in the hospitals of Roma to help with healing. Common priests can also be found teaching common folk about the gods and goddesses.
Apprentice Priest
[/b]Apprentice priests are priests who are learning the art of healing and learning about the gods and goddesses. Young apprentice priests are kept inside the walls of the temple until they are deemed fit to choose whether they will become a common priest or temple priests. An apprentice priest who chooses to become a common priest will move into the Institute while those who choose to become a temple priest will stay in the temple.[/center]The priest circle is a circle of 5 head priests.
