Tongoenabiagus

Tongoenabiagus

Tongoenabiagus was the god of the fountains of oaths in Lusitanian mythology, particularly popular amongst the Callaici Bracari, in the cultural area of Gallaecia and northern Lusitania, comprising modern Galicia (Spain) and northern Portugal.

The "Fonte do Ídolo" (Portuguese for "Fountain of the Idol"), a 1st century Roman shrine in Braga (the Roman "Bracara Augusta") with inscriptions in a Celtic language, is a fountain shrine dedicated both to "Tongoenabiagus" and the goddess "Nabia".
