Consus

Consus was a rather obscure god who was probably a chthonian god. Consus was normally worshipped along with the goddess Ops (Greek Rhea) at the Aventine Hill. Together, Consus and Ops were the deities of the harvest.

Consus was possibly the god of granary and the storehouse, since his name was derived from the Latin word condere, which means "to store away". Apart from this, nothing else is known about him. Romulus used the festival of Consus to seize the Sabine women.
