Rosmerta [L, good purveyor, great provider]. Latin name for an indigenous Gaulish deity whose worship was known from what is today Germany to Britain. Frequently seen as a cult-partner of Gaulish
Mercury, her statues sometimes acquire his attributes, such as the purse of plenty and the caduceus. She also sometimes appears with the Roman goddess
Fortuna and may borrow artefacts from her icons. Other imagery implies
fertility and a patronage of motherhood. Additionally, however, she may also be seen by herself, especially in south-eastern France, implying that her cult may have pre-dated that of either Mercury or Fortuna. There may be an echo of her name in the epithet of Gaulish
Smertrius, a sometime epithet of Gaulish
Mars.
