Inciona
Inciona, a little-known Celtic goddess, offers a fleeting glimpse into the religious practices of the Treveran people. Her name appears alongside another deity on two votive inscriptions discovered in Luxembourg.
These inscriptions, dedicated by individuals, stand as the only concrete evidence we have of Inciona’s worship. Despite the limited information, Inciona’s presence underscores the rich tapestry of Celtic deities honored across various regions.
The larger stone slab unearthed at Widdenberg offers the most detailed evidence of Inciona’s worship. Here, an inscription details a vow fulfilled by Alpinia Lucana, likely the mother of Marcus Pl(autius?) Restitutus. The inscription invokes both Inciona and the god Veraudunus, suggesting they were worshipped together. Interestingly, the dedication also honors the imperial family, hinting at a possible connection between the Celtic deities and Roman authorities in the region.
