Iccona the Shining Mare-Goddess

Lusitanian · deity · Iron Age (Cabeço das Fráguas inscription) · deity

Name leads with the English phrase 'the Shining Mare-Goddess'; attested form Iccona Loiminna. Native theonym reconstructed as *Ekwonā ('she of the horse'), cognate with Epona; the epithet Loiminna ('shining', glossed by Blázquez) qualifies her. Attested in the single Cabeço das Fráguas inscription; the Epona parallel is the basis for her wider equine/fertility characterisation.
