Nabia the River Lady

Lusitanian · deity · Iron Age to Roman period · deity

Name leads with the English phrase 'the River Lady'; attested Latin votive form Nabia. Native theonym from Indo-European *nāu-/*nabh- ('water-course, stream'), surviving in the river-names Navia, Neiva and Nabão. Scholars (Olivares Pedreño) suspect more than one goddess hides behind the name — one paired with Jupiter, another assimilated to Diana/Juno/Victoria. No narrative myth survives.
