Brigantia (goddess)

A statuette in the Museum of Brittany, Rennes, probably depicting Brigantia: c. 2nd century BCE.[1]

Brigantia or Brigindo[2] was a goddess in Celtic (Gallo-Roman and Romano-British) religion of Late Antiquity.

Through interpretatio Romana, she was identified with the goddesses Minerva, Tyche/Fortuna, and Victoria. The tales connected to the characters of Brigid and Saint Brigid in Irish mythology and legend have been argued to be connected to Brigantia, although the figures themselves remain distinct.
