In On Modesty, Tertullian ironically gives Pope Calixtus I this title for issuing an edict that removed the repentance needed for adultery. This title's holder held the secespita and the Lex Domitia allowed the people to elect the members of the group that elected one of their own to hold this title. It was first established by Numa Pompilius and the Lex Ogulnia increased that group to 9. This title's holder oversaw the flamines, lived in the Domus Publica, and was forbidden to leave Italy, though (*) Julius Caesar ignored that prohibition. Gratian was the last emperor to hold this title and the popes eventually assumed this former imperial title. People holding this position were responsible for regulating the calendar, maintaining pax decorum or peace of the gods, and watching over the Vestal Virgins. For 10 points, name this head of the Roman state religion.
