Tellus, the Roman goddess of the earth, equated with the Greek goddess
Gaia (Terra Mater) and also with the fertility goddess Ceres. Telles ("earth")
had a temple on the Forum Pacis, built in 268 BC. On her festival,
the Fordicidia, held on April 15, cows (being with young) were sacrificed.
On January 24 - 26 the Sementivae were held in honor of Tellus and Ceres
and during these days they were called upon for protection of the seed
and the sower. Fama was thought to be her daughter.
