 (The Storer) Roman An ancient but little-known Roman god of storage who protected the harvest once it was placed in silos, which were underground chambers in ancient ROME; an important god during the early agricultural days of Central Italy.

The cult that worshiped Consus faded from importance as Rome became a major city and empire. Consus was also known as the consort of OPS, an ancient goddess of plenty.

Rome celebrated Consus during horse races and during an annual harvest festival known as the Con-sualia when horses, mules, and other draft animals were decorated with flowers and allowed to rest.

Worshipers built an altar to Consus underground, beneath the middle of the Circus Maximus, a huge

 with seating for 150,000 people. Here Rome held very popular horse races. Another temple to Consus stood between the Palatine and the Aventine hills.
