Extrait du document
Roman The ancient goddess of flowers
and plants, budding fruit, youth, and springtime.
Flora's worship may have begun among the Sabine
people, one of the many central Italian cultures, who
brought her cult to Rome when they settled on the
Quirinal Hill, one of the city's seven famous hills.
Flora was often honored with Ceres, goddess
of corn and Earth, and Tellus, a fertility goddess.
Together, these three goddesses represented features
of the more ancient Earth Mother, creator and
guardian of all on Earth.
Flora was also considered the female counterpart
of Faunus, Roman god of fertility and nature. Her
festival, the Floralia, arrived in the end of May in
the Roman calendar. She was shown in statues and
paintings wearing flowers.
The word flora refers to the vegetation native to
a region or area.
