Ceres

2. (Romanmythology) The Romangoddess ofagriculture; equivalent to theGreek goddessDemeter.
4. (astronomy) Anasteroidorbiting betweenMars andJupiter, the innermostdwarf planet; officially called(1) Ceres. (seeusage notes)
5. Acity inStanislaus County,California,United States.
6. Avillage south-east ofCupar, easternFife council area,Scotland(OS grid ref NO4011).

Ceres has long been counted as the first asteroid discovered. There has however been some confusion as to whether the classification of Ceres as a dwarf planet in 2006 means that it is no longer considered to be an asteroid.^[1] TheMinor Planet Center, the organisation charged with cataloguing such objects, notes that dwarf planets may have dual designations,^[2]and the joint IAU/USGS/NASAGazetteer categorizes Ceres as both an asteroid and a dwarf planet.^[3]

   • 29BCE – 19BCE,Virgil,Aeneid1.177–179:

     TumCererem corruptam undīs Cereāliaque arma
     expediunt fessī rērum; frūgēsque receptās
     et torrēre parant flammīs et frangere saxō.

     Then, weary of [these] circumstances, they brought out[the grain of] Ceres, soaked with seawater, and the utensils of Ceres; and they prepared both to roast with flames and to grind with stone that grain [which] had been recovered.

• Very rarely found in the plural (cf.sacerdōs Cerērum found in one inscription, referring toProserpina).
• The Old Latin formCererus shows the rare genitive singular ending-us instead of the standard Classical Latin ending-is. This unique ending is poorly attested and largely exclusive to religious or legal documents.

Third-declension noun, singular only.
