Consus
Ancient Roman god of grains / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In ancient Roman religion, the god Consus was the protector of grains. He was represented by a grain seed.[1] His altar (ara)[2](p 42) was located at the first meta of the Circus Maximus.[3] It was either underground, or according to other sources, covered with earth, which was swept off during the two Consualia, his festivals on August 21,[4] December 15,[4][1] and on July 7 when the pontiffs held a sacrifice there.[5] He was thus a chthonic god.[2](p 42)
The Flamen Quirinalis and the Vestals officiated at his rites.[6]
