Ataegina
Ataegina or Ataecina (Spanish; ) was a goddess worshipped by the ancient Iberians, Lusitanians, and Celtiberians of the Iberian Peninsula. She was believed to rule the underworld. Name and functions. The name "Ataegina" is most commonly derived from a Celtic source: the two roots "*atte-" and "*geno-" to mean "Reborn" or from "*ad-akī-" (Irish "adaig") meaning "night". But her presence in decidedly non-Indo-European Iberian regions suggest that she may have an older, indigenous origin, in which case her name's etymology is more likely Iberian or Tartessian. Epigraphs from the Badajoz region associate the goddess with the  Roman Proserpina or Persephone which would make her a goddess presiding over Spring and seasonality, echoing the "reborn" derivation of the name. Ataegina was worshipped in Lusitania and Betica; there were also sanctuaries dedicated to Ataegina in Elvas (Portugal), and Mérida and Cáceres in Spain, along with other places, especially near the Guadiana river. She was one of the goddesses worshipped in "Myrtilis" (today's Mértola, Portugal), "Pax Julia" (Beja, Portugal) and especially the city of "Turobriga", whose precise location is unknown. A bronze plaque from Malpartida de Cáceres suggests associations with the goat as a sacred animal.
