== Further Reading ==
The Camillus Programme contains all the information needed for a Civis to become a Sacerdos. This does not mean however that a civis should be limited by this and they should only follow the materials on the Camillus Programme. It is encouraged, at all points in the course, before the course and after the course, that a Camillus should be reading supplementary materials to further their knowledge beyond the curriculum.
These are a few of the texts recommended for Camilli to read.
Many of these texts may be available on library genesis, so we recommend all look there.

<li>Are the sacerdotes consecrated to a single or multiple gods?</li>
The sacerdotes are trained for one god, however a sacerdos can re-enter the camillus training to become a sacerdos for another god. As such one can be a sacerdos for multiple divinities. This will however bring a heavy toll onto the sacerdos.

While we do not currently specialise in foreign divinities, cults from all over the world were worshipped in Rome. We teach as per the [[Ritus Romanus]] and will continue to do so. This does not limit your worship or divinity from being a part of the course but means you will likely end up worshipping them in the Roman way.
