The ancient Roman festival honoring Consus, a god associated with stored grain, was called Consualia.
Consualia was celebrated in ancient Rome in honor of Consus, a deity connected by Roman tradition with grain storage and the harvest. The festival was held twice each year, on 21 August and 15 December, according to surviving descriptions of the Roman calendar.
The August observance followed the grain harvest and is the one most clearly connected with agricultural themes. The December date occurred during the winter period. Horses and mules were associated with the festival, and animals used for work were reportedly given rest and decorated.
Consualia is sometimes confused with Saturnalia because both belonged to the Roman religious calendar and involved public festivities. They were separate festivals honoring different deities. The festival is also linked in Roman foundation mythology with the abduction of the Sabine women, though that story is legendary rather than a verified historical account.
