Ceres

Memory supports good agriculture and laws

Ceres

Ceres was a Roman goddess who had many duties: agriculture and harvest, and goddess of the land. She was also the goddess of fertility and motherly relationships. According to the myths, Ceres taught humanity how to grow, preserve, and harvest grains. Most gods of Ancient Rome only participated in human affairs when it suited their needs and interests. She was the protectress of the lower classes like slaves and plebeians. She also oversaw the laws, rights, and Tribunes of these people and offered her guidance. Ceres’ medallion depicts the circle of life and a harvest of marigold petals. Her message to us is that memory supports both good agriculture and laws
