ENT_CEL_ROSMERTA Rosmerta   Celtic/Gaulish Goddess Fertility Deity abundance; fertility; prosperity; sovereignty; consort of Lugus       C           Gaulish goddess of fertility, abundance, and sovereignty; name means "the Good Provider" (Delamarre 2003, p. 268: *ro-smerta, from smerta "providential"). Attested in about 20 Roman-period dedications from Gaul, Rhineland, and the Moselle region; frequently paired with Mercury (Trier, Metz, Wiesbaden), suggesting a Roman interpretatio of a local sovereignty couple. Depicted with a wooden tub (bucket of abundance) and sometimes a patera; she is the pre-Roman sovereignty figure onto whom Roman Mercury was mapped. deity
