ENT_IB_ATAEGINA	Ataegina	Iberian/Lusitanian	chthonic goddess / regeneration deity	Underworld Deity	underworld; regeneration; rebirth; healing; nature; spring		A						Ataegina (variants: Ataecina, Adaegina, Ategina) is the most widely distributed indigenous goddess of the Lusitanian and Baetican zone, attested in approximately 40 Latin votive inscriptions from a broad geographical area spanning modern Portugal, Extremadura (Spain), and Andalusia. Her theonym is typically analyzed as from PIE ati-gena-, "born again / reborn," pointing to a regeneration and cyclic renewal function; alternatively the first element may relate to atel-, "night." She is a chthonic deity — associated with the underworld, death, and regeneration of nature — and is most explicitly syncretized with the Roman Proserpina in a group of inscriptions that invoke "Dea sancta Ataegina Turibrigensis Proserpina" (from the main cult site at Turobriga, near Aroche, Huelva). The Turobriga cult combined the indigenous Ataegina with the Roman goddess of the underworld and spring/regeneration cycle, making this the most explicit ancient interpretatio romana in the Iberian tradition. Her epithets include "Queen of the Sun" in some dedications, suggesting solar as well as chthonic aspects — a paradox paralleled in other Mediterranean underworld-yet-light deities (Persephone, Hecate). Blázquez (1962) pp. 125-146; Olivares Pedreño (2002) pp. 111-125.	deity
ENT_IB_BANDUA	Bandua	Iberian/Lusitanian	binding deity / protective war god	War Deity	social bonds; oaths; territorial protection; war; community solidarity		A						Bandua is the most widely attested indigenous deity of NW Hispania (Lusitania, Gallaecia, and parts of Baetica), with approximately 25 Latin votive inscriptions from a broad geographic distribution — the widest of any indigenous Iberian deity apart from Ataegina. The theonym is analyzed as PIE bondho- or bhand-, "bond / obligation / binding" (cognate with English "band"), suggesting a deity whose domain encompasses social bonds, oaths, tribal solidarity, and the ties that hold a community together. Inscriptions frequently invoke Bandua with geographic epithets identifying local cult centers (Bandua Araugel-, Bandua Vorode-, etc.), suggesting a tradition of localized cult forms under a common divine name — a pattern also seen in the Celtic deity Lugus. Some inscriptions pair Bandua with Mars, providing an interpretatio romana link to military/protective functions; this combined with the oath/bond etymology suggests a deity who presides over warrior oaths, military solidarity, and community defense. Confidence A: widely and consistently attested across multiple regions. Olivares Pedreño (2002) pp. 39-88; Blázquez (1962) pp. 63-100.	deity
ENT_IB_BORMANICUS	Bormanicus	Iberian/Lusitanian	Spring deity	Water Deity	thermal springs; healing waters; medicinal baths	regional	A	candidate_verified_name	Early-antiquity fringe completion (v1.67.0)	0	0	0	Thermal-spring/healing-waters god attested at the hot-spring sanctuary of Caldas de Vizela; of the Celtic Bormo/Borvo family of spring deities.	deity
ENT_IB_COSUS	Cosus	Iberian/Lusitanian	War deity	War Deity	war; battle; warrior protection; tribal defence	regional	A	candidate_verified_name	Early-antiquity fringe completion (v1.67.0)	0	0	0	War-god attested by ~20 Latin votive inscriptions in Galicia and northern Portugal, interpreted via interpretatio romana as a Mars-type god of the Callaeci; sometimes identified with Cariociecus.	deity
ENT_IB_ENDOVELICUS	Endovelicus	Iberian/Lusitanian	healing / oracular deity	Healing Deity	healing; prophecy; oracular dreams; incubation; protective deity		A						Endovelicus (variants: Endovellicus, Endovelicus, Endovollicus, Endobellicus) is the best-attested indigenous deity of the Lusitanian/pre-Roman Iberian tradition, with approximately 80 Latin votive inscriptions and a significant number of sculptural dedications recovered from the sanctuary of São Miguel da Mota at Alandroal in the Alto Alentejo, Portugal. The São Miguel da Mota sanctuary was one of the major healing and oracular sanctuaries of the Roman province of Lusitania, visited by pilgrims across a wide regional radius. The deity's functions — healing, protective oracular dreams (incubation, the practice of sleeping in the sanctuary to receive divine healing visions), and general protection — are consistent with the broader ancient Mediterranean tradition of healing/oracular deities (cf. Asclepius at Epidaurus, Serapis at Alexandria). The theonym "Endovelicus" is of uncertain etymology: Blázquez proposed a root related to "good" (PIE *endho-/entu-, possibly meaning "very good" or "all-good"), while others have suggested a connection with "the one below" (underworld associations). Both a healing and a protective deity at once. Blázquez (1962) pp. 147-168; Olivares Pedreño (2002) pp. 89-110.	deity
ENT_IB_NABIA	Nabia	Iberian/Lusitanian	river and mountain goddess	Nature Deity	rivers; water; mountains; nature; territorial protection		A						Nabia (variants: Navia, Naeva, Nabia) is a goddess of rivers and mountains attested in Latin votive inscriptions from Lusitania and NW Hispania, including modern Portugal (particularly the Minho and Lima river districts) and Galicia. Her name connects with the river Navia in NW Spain (modern Asturias/Galicia) and likely with a broader root for flowing water (cf. Gaulish nava, Old Irish naue, "flowing water / boat"). She is a landscape deity whose domain encompasses rivers, springs, and mountain waters — the sacred geography of the NW Iberian plateau and Atlantic zone. She appears both alone and in combination with Jupiter in some dedications (Nabia Corona, with a crown epithet suggesting a territorial or queenly function), but never with the Roman water deities specifically, suggesting her river patronage was understood as a distinct indigenous function. Confidence A: consistently attested across multiple provinces. Olivares Pedreño (2002) pp. 161-180; Blázquez (1962) pp. 101-120.	deity
ENT_IB_QUANGEIUS	Quangeius	Iberian/Lusitanian	Deity	Deity	local tutelary deity; tribal protection	regional	B	candidate_verified_name	Early-antiquity fringe completion (v1.67.0)	0	0	0	Local tutelary deity attested by Latin votive inscriptions from the Lusitanian Egitania/Beira region.	deity
ENT_IB_REUE	Reue	Iberian/Lusitanian	Supreme god	Sky Deity	sky; supreme deity; sovereignty; sacrifice-recipient	regional	A	candidate_verified_name	Early-antiquity fringe completion (v1.67.0)	0	0	0	Supreme/sky deity (from IE *dyeu-) in Lusitanian ritual texts including the Cabeço das Fraguas inscription and Arronches plaque, with epithets Reve Anabaraego and Reve Larauco.	deity
ENT_IB_RUNESOCESIUS	Runesocesius	Iberian/Lusitanian	War deity	War Deity	war; javelin; weapons; warrior cult	regional	B	candidate_verified_name	Early-antiquity fringe completion (v1.67.0)	0	0	0	War/javelin god attested at the São Miguel da Mota / Alentejo cult region, connected to the Endovelicus sanctuary complex.	deity
ENT_IB_TONGOENABIAGUS	Tongoenabiagus	Iberian/Lusitanian	Spring deity	Water Deity	springs; sacred water source; oaths	regional	B	candidate_verified_name	Early-antiquity fringe completion (v1.67.0)	0	0	0	Spring deity attested at a sacred spring beside the river Cávado at Braga; the -nabiagus element links it to the Nabia water-deity family.	deity
ENT_IB_TREBARUNA	Trebaruna	Iberian/Lusitanian	Lusitanian deity / oath and settlement goddess	Warrior Deity	settlement; territory; oaths; protection; community bonds		B						Trebaruna is attested in the Lusitanian language — one of the few surviving pre-Roman language texts of the peninsula — in the Bronze Plaque of Arronches (c. 1st century CE, Portalegre district, Portugal), which preserves a ritual sacrifice text naming Trebaruna alongside other Lusitanian deities (Reve, Laebo, Ilurbeda). She also appears in a small number of Latin votive inscriptions. The theonym is analyzed as Proto-Celtic or Lusitanian: treb- = "settlement / dwelling" (cf. Old Irish treb, "settlement"), and -aruna/-runa has been connected with "water/river" (runo = "water source") or oath-bonds. The compound likely means "she of the settlement" or "protector of the community." Her domain encompasses territorial protection, community bonds, and possibly oath/covenant functions — consistent with an Iron Age Lusitanian settlement deity whose cult guaranteed the integrity of the community space. Confidence B: the name is securely attested in the Arronches plaque (a primary Lusitanian-language source), but the number of dedications is small and her precise functions cannot be fully recovered. Olivares Pedreño (2002) pp. 145-160; Blázquez (1962) pp. 195-200.	deity
ENT_IB_VESTIUS_ALONIECUS	Vestius Aloniecus	Iberian/Lusitanian	Deity	Deity	local tutelary deity; animal sacrifice	regional	B	candidate_verified_name	Early-antiquity fringe completion (v1.67.0)	0	0	0	Indigenous Callaecian tutelary deity attested at Lourizán (Pontevedra) receiving animal offerings; Aloniecus likely a toponymic epithet.	deity
