Nehalennia, Nehalannia [leader (?); steerswoman (?)]. Latin name for a Celtic goddess of seafarers worshipped at two sites along the North Sea which have since been inundated by rising waters. Depicted as a young woman in distinctive (perhaps local) dress, a small round cap and short shouldercape, she is often seen seated in a chair with fruit baskets in her lap and besides, and most individualizing, nearly always accompanied by a
dog. Surviving evidence indicates she was patronized by wealthy patrons, Roman citizens who were Celts but perhaps also Germans.
