Sanctuary of Ceres, Liber and Libera, Roman temple ruins on Aventine Hill, Rome, Italy.
The sanctuary features a temple structure dedicated to three agricultural deities: Ceres for grain cultivation, Liber for wine production, and Libera for fertility.
Construction of the temple began in 494 BCE during the Roman Republic, and despite destruction by fire in 31 BCE, it remained active until the 4th century.
The temple served as a center for agricultural ceremonies and festivals, where Romans gathered to perform rituals connected to planting and harvesting cycles.
Visitors can explore the temple remains on Aventine Hill, accessing the site through guided tours that explain Roman religious practices and architecture.
Archaeological excavations revealed votive offerings and inscriptions that document the names of individuals who contributed to the temple's maintenance and construction.
