	Sacred king - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The rex sacrorum was, of course, a patrician, appointed to the priesthood for life by the pontifex maximus.
		In theory and in social precedence, the rex sacrorum was the highest ranking priest in the Roman religion, in practice his influence was far less than that of the pontifex maximus.
		The rex sacrorum and regina sacrorum presided over a sacrifice that was offered several times a month, on the Ides, Nones, and Kalends of the Roman calendar ; he to Jupiter, she to Juno.

		Before the knowledge of the calendar became public property, it was the duty of the rex sacrorum to summon the people to the Capitol on the calends i and nones of each month, and to announce \ the festivals for the month.
		Of the other sacrifices known to us we may mention the regifugium on Feb. 24th, when the rex sacrorum sacrificed at the cdmUlum, and then fled in haste.
		This has been erroneously explained as a commemoration of the flight of Tarquinius Superbus,the last of the Roman kings ; but it is much more probably one of the customs handed down from the time of the kings themselves, and perhaps connected with the purificatory sacrifice from which the month of February derived its name.

		The Rex Sacrorum offered the sacrifice at the comitium, a place where the transaction of political matters in which he could not take part normally occurred, and then fled from the Forum as fast as he could.
