Arentius the Divine Consort
Lusitanian · deity · Roman period · deity
Name leads with the English phrase 'the Divine Consort'; attested votive form Arentius (with epithets Amrunaeco, Arantoniceo, Tanginiciaeco, Cronisensi). Native theonym apparently from a water-root. Known only from epigraphy — no iconography and no description of cult; even the basic nature of the pair is reconstructed from the names.
