Ceres is normally shown holding ears of corn downwards in her right hand. This is a symbol of her role as the goddess of agriculture and fertility. <\/p>
She often wears a crown made of corn-ears and carries either a cornucopia (a horn filled with fruits) or a torch (a reference to her search through the underworld for her daughter Proserpina). Ceres is easily confused with Annona<\/a> who shares many of the same attributes. <\/p> Ceres appears on coins produced between the 1st century BC and the 2nd century AD. She is most common on coins struck in the name of the 2nd century empresses.<\/p>",
