The Aventine Triad also referred to as the plebeian Triad or the agricultural Triad, is a modern term for the joint cult of the Roman deities Ceres, Liber, and Libera. The cult was established in 493 BC within a sacred district (templum) on or near the Aventine Hill, traditionally associated with the Roman plebs. The book studies the gods of the Aventine Triad, its origin and foundation, associated ludi games, and theatrical performances which served as a focus of plebeian identity.
