FLAMEN. A Flamen; the title given to any Roman priest attached to the service of some single divinity (Cic. Leg. ii 8.), each being distinguished by the name of the deity to whom he ministered (Varro, L. L. v. 84.); as Dialis, of Jupiter; Martialis, of Mars; Quirinalis, of Romulus. His pontifical dress was the laena, fastened by a brooch at the throat, and the cap called apex, with an olive stick and flock of wool on its crown. Serv. ad Virg. Aen., iv. 262.
