Extrait du document

Roman An ancient god of fertility and harvest to the people of Etruria, but a lesser god among the Romans; the protector of harvests and vegetation. Vertumnus is best known for his ability to change shape and for using that ability to woo and win the love of Pomona, a goddess of fruit trees and harvest. He was portrayed as both handsome and youthful and old and gray-bearded, symbols of the changing seasons which he also represented. A statue of Vertumnus stood at the entrance to the Etruscan district of Rome during the days of the republic and the empire.
