Libera Roman An ancient goddess of fertility,
especially of grape vines; wife or sister of Liber.
In most surviving information, her name is tied to
Liber and Ceres, the goddess of grains and cereals.
Together this trio signified food and drink, as well as
liberty and law. Some suggest that Liber and Libera
also presided over the selection of brides for young
men, a symbol of their connection with fertility.
Early in Roman history, Libera was connected
with the Greek goddess Persephone, who was also
known as Kore.
