Goddess? edit

Is there any evidence for Bandua being a goddess? To me, the use of deo seems pretty conclusive in the other direction. Q·L·1968 22:10, 23 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Well. His epithets appear to be masculine, although many are of geographic nature (the diversity in the dative endings are the alleged effect of the interference of local Lusitanian/Celtic and Latin + diachronic/synchronic differences): BANDVE AETOBRIGO, BANDV[.] ETOBRICO, BANDVE CADOGO, BANDVE VEIGEBREAEGO, BANDVE VERVBRIGO, BANDVE BOLECCO, BANDV VORDEAECO, BANDE RAEICO, BANDIAE APOLOSEGO, BANDI ARBARIAICO, BANDEI BRIALEACVI, BANDI ISIBRAEGVI, BANDI TATIBIIAICVI, BANDI [L?]ONGOBRICV, BANDI MALVNAICO, BANDI OILIENAICO, BANDI SAISABRO, BANDE VELVGO TOIRAECO, BANDI VORTEAECEO, BANDVE ROVDEAECO... Then we have a BANDVA LANSBRICAE or BANDV ALANSBRICAE, and a silver tray with the legend BAND * ARAVGEL, with the representation of a goddess inside.
