Kerres is the Oscan form of the goddess the Romans called Ceres, and she stands at the head of the most important single document of Samnite religion, the bronze Agnone Tablet. Its two faces describe the sacred grove dedicated to her and enumerate the seventeen divine powers who held altars there, including a 'Daughter of Ceres' (Futreí Kerríiaí, corresponding to Persephone), water-nymphs of the springs, and a 'Hercules of Ceres'. The tablet prescribes annual sacrifices, some tied to the festival of Flora, marking Kerres as the organising centre of a whole agrarian pantheon concerned with the growth, watering and harvest of the crops.
