Nabia
.jpg){kind=link}
Nabia (or Navia) was a goddess of the Pre-Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula, although she also had an extended cult during the Roman occupation of the peninsula.[2]
Nabia was worshipped in many places on the Iberian Peninsula, sometimes in very different ways, leading some historians to suggest that "Nabia" was just a common word used by different peoples to refer to their deities (a theory questioned by others).[3]Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Due to the uncertainty of her nature, she is sometimes interpreted as a water deity,[1] other times she is associated with valleys, forests and hills,[4] and she's further seen as the goddess of fertility, health, and abundance.[5]
Her name, including variations, is attested in 28 inscriptions as of 2025.[6]
