SRC_OLIVARES_IBERIAN Juan Carlos Olivares Pedreño, Los dioses de la Hispania céltica (Bibliotheca Archaeologica Hispana 15; Real Academia de la Historia / Universidad de Alicante, Madrid, 2002)   secondary scholarship Comprehensive study of the indigenous deities of the Celtic regions of Hispania — primarily Lusitania and the NW Iberian peninsula (modern Portugal and Galicia) — analyzing the distribution of theonyms, their linguistic analysis, the degree of Celtic vs. pre-Celtic substratum, and the functions inferred from dedicatory formulae and findspot contexts. Olivares Pedreño provides detailed analysis of Bandua (the deity most widely attested across Lusitania and NW Hispania, with 25+ inscriptions), Nabia (river/mountain goddess), Trebaruna (attested in Lusitanian-language inscriptions including the Arronches plaque), Endovelicus (the healing-oracular deity of São Miguel da Mota), and Ataegina (chthonic goddess widely attested across Lusitania and Baetica). This is the key reference for the linguistic and functional analysis of the deities in this layer.
