I want to know the answer to the following question:
Because of the lack of pay, what was the type of honor in being a priest?
All the background I'm provided with is that "For those who had reached their goal in the Cursus honorum, permanent priesthood was best sought or granted after a lifetime's service in military or political life, or preferably both: it was a particularly honourable and active form of retirement which fulfilled an essential public duty.". Is that enough to answer the question?
