Editing Sancus (section)

=== {{Lang|la|Sacerdotes bidentales}} – priests of Semo Sancus ===
For this reason the priests of Semo Sancus were called {{Lang|la|sacerdotes bidentales}}. They were organised, like a lay corporation, in a {{Lang|la|decuria}} under the presidency of a {{Lang|la|magister quinquennalis}}.

Their residence at the shrine on the Quirinal was located adjoining the chapel: it was ample and commodious, provided with a supply of water by means of a lead pipe.
The pipes have been removed to the [[Capitoline Museum]]. They bear the same inscription found on the base of the statue.<ref>

The statue is now housed in the {{Lang|la|Galleria dei Candelabri}} of the Vatican Palace.
The foundations of the shrine on the [[Quirinal]] were destroyed.
