Ricagumbeda

Ricagumbeda was a Celtic goddess worshipped in Roman Britain, an altar-stone raised to her having been recovered in the United Kingdom at Birrens (2107 [Ricagumbedae] ).

Etymology

"Ricagumbeda" may be derived from the Proto-Celtic "*Rik-āgu(m)-bed-ā" meaning 'heavenly battle grave' (cf.
