CERES LIBER LIBERAQUE, AEDES
a temple on the slope
of the Aventine
hill, near the west end of the circus Maximus. According
to tradition
there was a famine in Rome in 496 B.C., and the dictator
L. Postumius,
after consulting the Sibylline books, vowed a temple to
Demeter, Dionysus,
and Kore if they would bring abundance again to the city.
The temple
was built, and dedicated in 493 B.C. by the consul Sp.
Cassius (Dionys.
vi. 17, 94) to Ceres, Liber, and Libera, with whom the
Greek deities
were identified. Beloch (Rom. Gesch. 329) assigns it to
the fourth
century B.C.
It was araeostyle, with columns of the Tuscan order,
and the fastigium
was decorated with statues of gilded bronze or terracotta
of Etruscan
workmanship (Vitr. iii. 3. 5). The walls of the cella were
decorated with
frescoes and reliefs by two Greek artists, Gorgasus and
Damophilus,Cf. Urlichs, Malerei vor Caesar, 4-5 ; E. Douglas Van
Buren, Terracotta Revetments,
31-32.
