Art/Literary - Archaeology
Italian term or phrase: demetriaco
La natura stessa dell’oggetto non può dirsi molto indicativa, poiché non può essere attribuita a contesti cultuali eclusivamente demetriaci.

Can't find a suitable adjective for demeter - any ideas? Thanks.

Notes to answerer
Asker: thanks, this looks right - My brain got stuck on "demetriac" and that looked wrong.

  -> thanks, Natalia
agree  Jim Tucker (X): yes - Demetrian Thesmophoria etc. "Demetriac" shouldn't look wrong either -- that's the Greek adj. ending! (-ian is Latin of course) - Both are OK.
