Divona

For the palace in Dubrovnik, see Sponza Palace.

Divona (Gaulish: Deuona, Diuona, 'Divine') is a Gallo-Roman goddess of springs and rivers.[1]

The cult of the fresh waters appears to have been particularly important among Gauls, and Celts in general, compared to the other of Indo-European-speaking peoples.[2][3]
