In Celtic polytheism, Andarta was a warrior goddess worshipped in southern Gaul. Inscriptions to her have been found in Bern, Switzerland[citation needed] as well as in southern France.[1] She may also be related to the goddess Andate identified with Victory in Britain, according to Cassius Dio.[2] Like the similar goddess Artio, she was associated with the bear.[citation needed]
