“Vesunna”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Vesunna was also once the name of a town just south of the modern French city of Perigueux, where the goddess had a temple in ancient times; she was certainly the patron goddess of this city and its people and thus a protector.

In inscriptions found in Perigueux, Vesunna is identified with the Roman goddess of luck, Tutela, which emphasizes Vesunna’s role as a goddess of good fortune. Vesunna received votive and dedicatory offerings from her worshippers; otherwise little is known of the specifics of her cult. She had a temple in the city that bore her name. Vesunna was worshipped especially by the Gaulish Celtic tribe known as the Petrocorii, whose name survived in the modern French city of Perigeuex, located just north of her great temple.

Etymology

Theonym is the direct heir to another goddess of the same city of Sianna, and derives from vesannus,a, um - cruel, furious, excited, unstoppable for Sianna as a definition relative to the mistress of wildlife and as a goddess of the hunt. Vesunna is also called Tutela, which means she is a patron and defender of the city.^[5]
