Extrait du document
Roman Two deities, a
goddess and god, who watched over growing fields of
wheat and grain and who, if not treated well, brought
rust or mildew to crops. Robigo, which means blight or
mildew in Latin, was female, and Robigus was male.
Each year, on April 25, the time when mildew
most commonly attacked young plants, the Romans
held the festival of the Robigalia. Worshipers, led by
their priest, sacrificed a dog to Robigo and Robigus,
preferably a rust red dog to symbolize the color of
mildew on plants. Their ceremony was held five miles
north of Rome, next to the city's fields. Races and
games followed the ceremony.
