Festival named for the god Robigus, who as the personification of agricultural disease could also prevent it. Its main ritual was a dog sacrifice to protect grain fields from diseases such as wheat rust, a fungal disease that has a reddish/reddish brown color. The color red is thematic: the disease was red, the requisite puppies (or sometimes bitches) had a red coat.
“Once, I can’t remember, I was long ago, someone strange. I was innocent and wise, and full of pain. Now that I’m a woman, everything has changed. Once, when I was searching, somewhere out of reach, far away, in a place I could not find, or heart obey. Now that I’m a woman, everything is strange.” – Amalthea from The Last Unicorn.

The Art and Craft of Blogging
My name is Horacio, but everybody calls me Tati. I live in Adrogué, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Last year I discovered photography and it soon became a passion engraved in my daily life. I’ve learnt to see things from a different angle; things which used to go unnoticed now look different to me. I focus them with my camera and imagine them hanging on a wall. I hope some day I can look at my pictures in amazement as now I do when I look at pictures through the eyes of other photographers.
Amazing faces on the rise and the creative minds behind them.

is he connected to the Green Man I wonder?
As a quick answer I would say, no. Although the Romans employed leaf mask imagery across a variety of Gods, ranging from Dionysus to Neptune, the Green Man as God or demiurge is separate from Robegus or any other Roman diety.
