Flamen

Flamen - Flamines - Roman Priests known as Flamines
The flamines, which is the plural of flamen, were under the control of the pontifex maximus. They were distinguished by articles of clothing and a laurel wreath. They were distinguished from the sacerdos priest by being devoted to a single god.

The flamines were appointed for life, but could (be compelled to) resign.
