Rome (Rise of the Republic) Via Labos Tier 4

A Pig in Honour of Ceres

Food is often scarce, so maintaining subsistence is a task of the highest priority for many Roman families. Thankfully, we are not alone in our struggle, as the goddess Ceres is firmly on our side, being the deity of fertility and agriculture. We keep in her favour through an elaborate cycle of religious festivals regarding all aspects of crop production. We also sacrifice a pig to Ceres before sowing the seeds in the spring. Being the least expensive to breed, pigs are the only animal normally kept on the average home, which is why we use them in rituals which require such offerings.
