Sacerdos Cereris, sacerdos Cerealis or sacerdos Cereris publica was the title of the Priestess of the goddess Ceres in Ancient Rome. It was one of two Roman state cults to include female priests (the other being the Vestals). The worship of Demeter and Persephone were introduced in Rome as the worship of Ceres and Proserpina, as well as the Roman versions of Thesmophoria (sacrum anniversarium) and Eleusinian Mysteries (initia Ceres), where Roman wives and daughters sacrificed a sow and enacted the drama between the goddess and her daughter.

  • Sacerdos Cereris, sacerdos Cerealis or sacerdos Cereris publica was the title of the Priestess of the goddess Ceres in Ancient Rome. It was one of two Roman state cults to include female priests (the other being the Vestals). The worship of Demeter and Persephone were introduced in Rome as the worship of Ceres and Proserpina, as well as the Roman versions of Thesmophoria (sacrum anniversarium) and Eleusinian Mysteries (initia Ceres), where Roman wives and daughters sacrificed a sow and enacted the drama between the goddess and her daughter. This cult was supervised by the priestesses of Ceres. As the cult was originally Greek, the priestesses, at least initially, were selected among Greek women from Naples and Elea. They had a high position in Roman society, where they were the only priestesses aside from the Vestals who were active within a publicly funded state cult. (en)
  • Sacerdos Cereris eller sacerdos Cerealis var titeln för gudinnan Ceres prästinna i antikens Rom. Cereskulten var en statlig kult, och Ceresprästinnorna var tillsammans med vestalerna de enda kvinnliga prästerskapet bland de offentligt finansierade romerska statskulterna. Till skillnad från vestalerna var de dock inte heltidsanställda, något inget annat prästerskap än vestalerna var. Demeter och Persefone dyrkades i Rom som Ceres och Proserpina i sina egna versioner av Thesmoforia (sacrum anniversarium) och Eleusinska mysterierna (initia Ceres), där romerska matronor och deras döttrar offrade en sugga och återspelade dramat mellan gudinnan och hennes dotter. Kulten sköttes av prästinnor av grekisk börd från Neapel och Elea, som fick romerskt medborgarskap och en hög ställning i Rom, där de var de enda kvinnliga präster förutom vestalerna som var anställda vid en statlig kult.
