Abstract

Some healing gods in Gallia Belgica and in the Germaniae, especially in Germania superior had feminine deities as consorts. Seven goddesses were concerned by that characteristic in provinces that contains hundreds. The identification of such goddesses needs to use precise criteria explored in the paper. That will help us to prove that they were mainly from Celtic origins. But besides that Celtic origin, the form of cults and the aspect of sanctuaries were Romans, and the dedicants were well aware of the Roman habits.
