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 the Greek Persephone. Proserpina replaced or was combined with the ancient Roman fertility goddess Libera, whose principal cult was housed in a temple atop Rome's Aventine Hill, which she shared with the grain-goddess Ceres and the wine god Liber (Liber Pater). Each of these three deities occupied their own cella at the temple, their cults served or supervised by a male public priesthood.
