The Romans worshiped Ceres as the goddess of agriculture, grain, and fertility, recognizing her vital role in ensuring successful harvests and food supply. She was integral to Roman society, as agriculture was the backbone of their economy and daily life. Ceres was often associated with the cycle of life and the nurturing aspects of nature, and her worship included festivals like the Cerealia, which celebrated the planting and harvesting of crops. This reverence reflected the Romans' deep connection to the land and their reliance on agricultural abundance.
She is known as Demeter to the Greeks and Ceres to the Romans.
Ceres cult took many forms. She was the central deity in Rome's so-called plebeian or Aventine Triad (Ceres, Liber and Libera) , and was paired with her daughter Proserpina in what Romans described as "the Greek rites of Ceres".

She was honored in the May lustration of fields at the Ambarvalia festival, and at harvest-time.
