Flora was the Roman goddess of flowers, vegetation and fertility. Spring was her season and her temple stood near the Circus Maximus in Rome. Her festival, called the Floralia, was instituted in 238 BCE.
This Roman artwork from the Hadrianic era with some modern alterations was found at Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli (Italy). Now in Palazzo Nuovo, Capitoline Museums.
