Verbeia [cf. OIr. ferb, cattle]. Romano-British goddess of the River Wharfe in Wharfedale, Yorkshire. An altar in her honour survives at Ilkley, Yorkshire, near which was found a statue which may represent her: a figure in a pleated robe, with stylized features and an over-large head, and a large snake in each hand. She also appears to own a cow.
