Proserpina

Ancient Roman goddess

Proserpina
Proserpina ( proh-SUR-pih-nə; Latin: [proːˈsɛrpɪna]) or Proserpine ( PROSS-ər-pyne) is an ancient Roman goddess whose iconography, functions and myths are virtually identical to those of Greek Persephone. Proserpina replaced or was combined with the ancient Roman fertility goddess Libera, whose principal cult was housed in the Aventine temple of the grain-goddess Ceres, along with the wine god Liber. Each of these three deities occupied their own cella at the temple. Their cults were served or supervised by a male public priesthood. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proserpina
