This data, being submitted in a number of stages, has not yet been completed. It is currently being presented as work in progress and therefore might still contain some inconsistencies. Suggestions for improvements and corrections are welcome.
This research project intends to collect and analyse all Celtic divine names that are preserved in Latin inscriptions of the Roman province Germania Inferior. These sources seem especially suitable as a basis for examining phenomena that emerge in religious contexts when different cultural influences collide. In this case, those influences are defined on the one hand by the use of the Celtic language, on the other hand by the Latin language and patterns from inside the Roman Empire that can be labelled as “Roman”. Our focus is not only on religious aspects but also on social issues and corresponding mentalities. A further aim is to contribute to a clearer overall picture of the provincial religion in Germania Inferior.
The first part of the project comprises a new edition of the relevant epigraphical sources, also considering the inscribed objects and their iconography. The second part analyses the sources edited this way.
The final publication complemented by a detailed linguistic commentary (by Patrizia de Bernardo Stempel) will appear in ‚Corpus - F.E.R.C.AN. (Fontes epigraphici religionum Celticarum antiquarum)‘. page url: https://codecs.vanhamel.nl/Keltische_G%C3%B6tternamen_P_29274-G25
