Vertumnus was a god of autumn, who especially guarded the orchards and bestowed a rich abundance of fruit. Although his Latin name indicates him as a true Roman god, myth has it that he came over to Rome from Etruria and chose a place to live in one of the busiest parts of the city.
People told of his love for Pomona, who was also a goddess of the gardens and was always busy grafting, pruning and watering, in short, with everything that concerned the care of the gardens. She was so dedicated to this that she wanted nothing to do with love.
