1,800-year-old Roman Venus Figurine Found In England Was A Home Deity

[: Michael-Robert.]

The latest amazing find in England is a graceful Roman Venus figurine found at a construction project in Gloucester. It was likely a home deity for fertility, which the English people also understood long before the Romans came.

A 17-centimeter (6.7 inch) tall Roman Venus figurine has been discovered by archaeologists in the city of Gloucester, England. This 1,800-year-old find has created considerable excitement in the archaeological community. Anthony Beechey of Cotswold Archaeology was quoted by BBC News as saying, "This has been the most exciting find of my career in archaeology so far. The figurine provides a really important, tangible link between the people of Gloucester and their past." https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/roman-venus-figurine-0015914

Interesting find

Could be an early representation of one of the celtic goddesses

• Brigid.
• The Cailleach.
• Aengus.
• Queen Medb.
• Cernunnos.
• Cu Chulainn.
• The Morrigan.
• Badb.

But still the figurine has Roman Style influences rathers than Celtic.
