FLORA

Flora was the Roman goddess of flowers, youth, and spring. She was especially associated with vines, olives, all kinds of fruit trees and honey-bearing plants. Her temple was situated in the vicinity of the Circus Maximus, and her worship was said to have been introduced by Numa. Games were instituted in her honour around 238 BC but were soon discontinued before being restored in 173 BC.
