	Arval Brothers - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		ARVAL BROTHERS (Fratres Arvales), in Roman antiquities, a college or priesthood, consisting of twelve members, elected for life from the highest ranks in Rome, and always apparently, during the empire, including the emperor.
		But apart from this, there is proof of the high antiquity of the college, which was said to have been older than Rome itself, in the verbal forms of the song with which, down to late times, a part of the ceremonies was accompanied, and which is still preserved.
		The Arvales also offered sacrifice and solemn vows on behalf of the imperial family on the 3rd of January and on other extraordinary occasions.

		The office of the Fratres Arvales was for life, and was not taken away even from an exile or captive.
		The passage in Varro being the only mention of the Arvales that dates from republican times, it is a highly probable conjecture that this may have been one of the obsolete or half-forgotten cults, several of which, we know, were revived by Augustus.
		The principal duty of the Arvales was to celebrate a three days' festival in honour of the Dea Dia, supposed by Marini to be Ceres, but now identified with Ops.

		She had twelve sons, and on the death of one of them Romulus took his place, and with the remaining eleven founded the college of the Arval brothers (Fratres Arvales).

		Yet, with only commemorative altars as evidence of vow rites, it is difficult to perceive the full extent of these rituals: the altars commemorate only a vow fulfilled, not the initial request to the god.
		Derks thus appeals to the extensive documentation on votive rites among the Fratres Arvales of Rome, which extend from initial vows through rites of reaffirmation to rites of completion, to demonstrate the complexity and successive stages of votive rites.
		Those commemorated in Gaul seem to have concerned private matters, in contrast to the high civic purposes of the Fratres Arvales.
