Consus

In ancient Roman religion, the god Consus was the protector of grains. He was represented by a grain seed.^[1] His altar (ara)^[2]^(p 42) was located at the first meta of the Circus Maximus.^[3] It was either underground, or according to other sources, covered with earth, which was swept off during the two Consualia, his festivals on August 21,^[4] December 15,^[4]^[1] and on July 7 when the pontiffs held a sacrifice there.^[5] He was thus a chthonic god.^[2]^(p 42)

The Flamen Quirinalis and the Vestals officiated at his rites.^[6]
