Serie I: Storia, Letteratura, Paleografia 492 La presente monografia analizza tutti gli aspetti concernenti Flora e i riti a lei dedicati, estendendo la trattazione anche alle testimonianze provenienti dai territori italici e all?iconografia, che spazia da quella antica a una selezione di opere moderne. Oggi la dea viene comunemente associata ai fiori e al mirabile ritratto che di lei ha saputo fare Botticelli nella celeberrima Primavera, ma per gli antichi Romani ella era una divinit? ben pi? complessa di quanto si possa pensare. Today Flora is commonly associated with flowers and with the wonderful portrait that Botticelli made of her in his well-known Primavera. For ancient Romans however, she was a far more complex goddess than what may be expected. Her main feature being her domain over the flowering process, it must nonetheless be originally connected to the agricultural sphere and to the edible plants and only later on gradually extend to the ornamental plants as well. This process provides an effective demonstration of how Flora ? just like all other ancient deities ? wasn?t perceived as an unchanging entity, but on the contrary she adapted to the changes of times and traditions.
