| 2463 | ENT_ITA_OPS | spouse_of | ENT_ROM_SATURN | high | Ops is the standard divine consort of Saturn in Roman religious tradition: Macrobius (Saturnalia 1.10.19-20) explains that "Ops and Saturn are thought to be the same as heaven and earth" and pairs their cult. The December Saturnalia (17-23 Dec.) and Opalia (19 Dec.) are co-located, as are the August Consualia-Opiconsivia cluster. Ops thus functions both as Saturn's consort and as the personification of the earth's stored abundance in complementary relationship to Saturn as the celestial ordering principle.
