Intarabus , also Entarabus , is a Celtic deity of the Treveri , all known inscriptions come from a relatively limited area around Luxembourg . According to the Interpretatio Romana, he is equated with Mars , but possibly also with the Celtic deity Narius.

mythology

Intarabus is mentioned in a total of nine dedicatory inscriptions. One of them was found on a statue from the coalfield of Foy ( Tungri , Roman province of Gallia Belgica , arrondissement of Bastogne in Belgium ). Inscriptions are also known in the former area of ​​the Treveri , namely in Trier ( Augusta Treverorum , Roman province Gallia Belgica) and in Niersbach . In Luxembourg there is a find from the area of Echternach ( Treveri , Roman province of Gallia Belgica)

Another place of discovery was Mackwiller ( Mediomatrici , Roman province Germania superior , Département Bas-Rhin ) in Crooked Alsace , where he is nicknamed Narius. Already in the 1st century AD there was a sanctuary for the genius loci Narius Intarabus in connection with a local spring worship. In a mithraium that was built in the 2nd century, the inscriptions testify to the common veneration of Mithras and Narius Intarabus. In the second half of the 3rd century the Mithraeum was destroyed and a traditional Gallic temple was built in its place from the remaining components, which now enclosed the holy spring, from which it can be seen that the Mithraic cult was abandoned in favor of the old Celtic local deities was.

etymology

According to Xavier Delamarre, the name is composed of the protoceltic words enter ("between") and ab (us) ("river"). However, most Celtologists consider the origin of the name to be unclear.
