The Sanctuary of Demeter and her Statue- Rocca Albornoz (Viterbo)
Demeter, Vei for the Etruscans, Ceres for the Romans
Greek goddess of grain and agriculture, Demeter oversees the alternating seasons and the cycle of life and death. The very particular and evocative simulacrum of the divinity was found in a rock sanctuary near Vetralla, in the province of Viterbo, which partially escaped clandestine looting, and has returned the cult statue with its furnishings to the cell dedicated to the female divinity. (late 3rd century BC - early 2nd century BC).
Demetra , Vei per gli etruschi, Cerere per i romani
Dea greca del grano e dell'agricoltura, Demetra sovrintende all'alternarsi delle stagioni e del ciclo della vita e della morte. Il particolarissimo e suggestivo simulacro della divinita' fu rinvenuto in un santuario rupestre nei pressi di Vetralla, in provincia di Viterbo, in parte scampato al saccheggio clandestino, e ha restituito nella cella dedicata alla divinita' femminile, la statua di culto con i suoi arredi (fine III sec. a.C. - inizi II sec. a.C.).
