Sirona

Goddess of healing springs. Judging by the number of sites dedicated to Sirona, from Brittany in the west to Hungary in the east, she was a popular goddess.

Artefacts have been found where she was depicted alone or with the god Grannus (Apollo Grannus), who was also the god of healing and of healing springs.

A shrine of hers was found in Hochscheid of the Moselle valley, where Sirona was depicted as a seated goddess wearing a diadem on her head, a dog resting on her lap, and a snake entwined around her right arm while she was holding three eggs. The snake is often a symbol of healing in ancient civilizations or cultures, while the eggs clearly symbolized fertility.

Icons of her were also found in Mainz and in Sainte-Fontaine. In the former she holds grapes in her hand, in the later, she was in possession of grains and fruits.
