 Vestal Virgin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The discovery of a "House of the Vestals" in Pompeii made the Vestal Virgins a popular subject in the 18th century and the 19th century.
The punishment for violating the oath of celibacy was to be buried alive in the Campus Sceleratus (an underground chamber near the Colline gate) with a few days of food and water.
The Vestal Tuccia was accused of fornication, but she carried water in a sieve to prove her chastity.

 Amherst Magazine Winter 2003: College Row
There I argued that the sieve—known to allude to the myth of the Roman vestal virgin Tuccia, who miraculously carried water in a sieve from the Tiber to the Temple of Vesta—is a paradoxical symbol of Elizabeth’s virginity.
Full of holes, the sieve refers unmistakably to the symbolically leaky, hence unreliable nature of ordinary women’s bodies even as it asserts, through its link to Tuccia, the queen’s transcendence as virgin monarch of ordinary women.
For Elizabeth in her capacity as ruler, the sieve is an emblem not of leakiness but of discernment, of the good judgment requisite in rulers.
