Ricagumbeda

Ricagumbeda was a Celtic goddess worshipped in Roman Britain, an altar-stone raised to her having been recovered in the United Kingdom at Birrens (2107 [Ricagumbedae]).

Etymology

Ricagumbeda may be derived from the Proto-Celtic *Rik-āgu(m)-bed-ā meaning 'heavenly battle grave' (cf. [1] [2] [3]).
