Aveta

Aveta, or a similar mother goddess, as depicted on terracotta statuettes among the Treveri. (Replica)

In Gallo-Roman religion, Dea Aveta was a mother goddess, also associated with the fresh-water spring at Trier in what is now Germany.^[1] Aveta is known mainly from clay figurines found at Toulon-sur-Allier in France^[2] and at Trier. These figurines show the goddess with infants at the breast, small lap-dogs, or baskets of fruit.^[1] There was a temple dedicated to Aveta in the Altbachtal complex at Trier.^[3] Her name is also known from inscriptions found in Switzerland, and the Côte-d'Or (France).^[4]
