[edit] Pontifex maximus not always the highest office
According to page 922 of Caesar's Women (ISBN 0380710846 published in 1997), before the founding of the Roman Republic, the Rex Sacrorum was the highest-member of the Roman polytheists. Pontifex maximus was created in 509 BCE to outrank the Rex Sacrorum.--17:42, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
