  Cerese dea frugum regina Siculorum

  The goddess of agriculture, Ceres, is depicted in the background of the engraving wearing a crown and holding a scepter. Boccaccio explains that after discovering agriculture, Ceres had tamed oxen and trained them to yoke. She also discovered planting seeds and then taught men how to harvest them once they matured. There is one man plowing the fields with the oxen, and another in the background husking grain. There is another man with a bag of flour over his head, as Ceres also taught men how to turn flour into an edible fare. Ceres wears the crown and scepter to signify her importance linked to agriculture and harvest.
