	VERBEIA
		Verbeia - The Goddess of the River Wharfe?
		For the text of the Verbeia altarstone (vide RIB 635 infra).
		On the strength of the Verbeia altarstone, Ilkley has been tentatively identified with the Morbio entry from the Notitia Dignitatum (etiam vide infra).

		Camden guessed that 'Verbeia' was the goddess of the Wharfe, and that the altar had been set up in relieved gratitude by Clodius Fronto after nearly coming a cropper in the river.
		Verbeia is further connected to the waterways of the region by the two snakes she holds.
		It is interesting, in light of Verbeia's serpents, that the Latin term vernatio refers to both the renewal of vegetation in spring, and snakes' shedding of skin at this time.

	Verbeia - WiccanWeb.ca (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In ancient Celtic Mythology and polytheism, Verbeia is the deification of the River Wharfe conceived as a weaning Mother Goddess.
		Verbeia was worshipped in Roman Britain and altar-stones raised to her have been recovered in the United Kingdom, such as at Ilkley (635).
		Verbeia may be derived from the Proto-Celtic *Wer(ā)-bejā meaning 'Rain-Thrasher' (q.v.

	Swastika 2 - Crystalinks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Swastika Stone is arguably associated with this style of rock art, due to its use of cup-marks, but I have recently come to see it as most likely originating in the Iron Age, or even during Roman occupation.
		This is because of Verbeia, a Romano-Celtic goddess revered by the Roman troops stationed in Ilkley (then Olicana).
		The Swastika may map the turning sky down onto the ground, forming the bond between 'levels' that is so central to shamanic cosmology.

		But, anyway, the two artifacts Gyrus uses for his references to Verbeia are the Roman altar stone currently in the Parish Church and the famed Verbeia altar.
		From this we have the notion that Verbeia was the actual name of the Brigantian town and the Roman Fort, that this was the name of the Romano-British Goddess of the river.
		Verbeia seems to be Roman, not British–the British had their OWN names for the river.

	Ilkley (The Romans)
		An alternative name has been proposed by Rivet and Smith, who suggest that an altar found near Ilkley may give a clue to the original name of the town.
		The altar is dedicated to Verbeia, goddess of the River Wharfe.
		It is possible that Verbeia may also have formed an element in the Roman name for Ilkley.

	Verbeia : About the site
		Verbeia is the name of a Goddess known to be associated with the River Wharfe at Ilkley in West Yorkshire.
		Whilst there is much speculation about her exact origins, there is an altar dedicated to Verbeia, dating from the Roman occupation, in Ilkley.
		A number of theories as to Verbeia's origins have been suggested, these draw on both the mythical and spiritual associations with other Celtic Goddesses and on the etymology of her name, which has been associated with possible roots in Anglo Saxon, Scandinavian and Latin.

	WHY
		The second altar stone is inscribed as a dedication from the Prefect of the Second Lingones Cohort of the Roman army to the goddess Verbeia, and this inscription is often assumed (perhaps rashly) to interpret the meaning of the carved snake-goddess.
		Further, it is widely argued, albeit tentatively, that it is Verbeia who gives her name to the River Wharfe, which flows mere metres from the walls of the old Roman fort.
		A further intriguing etymological route through reading 'Verbeia' is the fact that Pliny the Elder refers to the use of verbena (vervain) on Gaulish druidic altars as a healing herb may provide another possible etymological complex into which Verbeia's name and mystical function can be connected.

	WHY
		Other deities with local associations included Dôn (Danu in Irish), the great Mother goddess of Celts throughout Europe, commemorated in the name of the River Don (running through Sheffield, and along Elmet’s Southern borders), and the goddess Verbeia, from whom it is claimed the name of the River Wharfe derives.
		In fact, Verbeia may have been a Continental import, brought in by a cohort of the Roman army stationed at Ilkley (Olicana) which was made up from the Celtic Gaulish tribe of the Lingones.
		In the old Welsh texts, all of these nations came under the general heading of Y Gwyr y Gogledd, or ‘The Men of the North’.

	TRACCE 10 - The Swastika Stone
		Verbeia is often accepted as being a version of the Celtic spring/fire goddess Brigid, who is still associated with swastika-like symbols in Ireland.
		Or perhaps the recruited Celtic/Roman troops were influenced in their choice of 'genuis loci', Verbeia, by the native Celts of West Yorkshire, the Brigantes (whose name derives from the goddess Brigantia, related to Brigid), who may have already carved the stone.

		RandC associate Ptolemy's Olicana with Alûna placing it at Ilkley (se1148) despite the etymological difficulties.
		PNRB suggests Elslack (sd9249), assigning RIB 635's Verbeia to Ilkley.
		If Elslack is Alûna/Olicana/Olenaco, then Camuloduno can still be a missing stage in AI's Iter II, Margary 721 connects Elslack by way of Keighley and Bradford to a point on Margary 712 northeast of Cleckheaton.

	Town (The Romans)
		However, no written descriptions of the towns themselves survive.
		In West Yorkshire towns tended to grow up around Roman forts and so we have Castleford (Lagentium or Legeolium, depending on which source is consulted), Ilkley (traditionally associated with the name Olicana, but modern research has suggested the name Verbeia as a possibility), Adel on the outskirts of Leeds and Slack near Huddersfield.
		Another settlement in the area which is now occupied by central Leeds seems likely: this may be the town referred to by classical writers as Cambodunum.

		Julian argues that both the name Verbeia and that of the River Wharfe (and I'd add to that the River Wear and a load of others) are derived from the name of a prehistoric water/riVER goddess known as Ver.
		There's one section in The Modern Antiquarian where he mentions how Bree and Ver seem to have at one (very early) time been one and the same goddess, known as Bur (also interesting to note that in gallic the "v" sound is written "bh").
		Gyrus is probably the best authority on Verbeia that I know of:

		The earliest reference to the Roman fort at South Shields occcurs in the Notitia Dignitatum of the 4th/5th century, where the garisson fort Arbeia (vide infra) is listed between the entries for Verbeia (Ilkley, West Yorkshire) and an unknown station named Dictium.
		Arbeia is thought to be a Latinised form of a name originally from Aramaic - the native language of the last attested unit stationed at the fort - meaning 'the Place of the Arabs'.

		For perhaps the first time, gathered here are the range of diverse attempts at unearthing the nature of Verbeia, the Romano-Celtic goddess of the River Wharfe in West Yorkshire.
		From the work of the earliest antiquarians in Elizabethan times, through Victorian speculations, up to more recent academic investigations, the author pulls together most of the information we have about this curiously neglected remnant of pre-Christian pagan traditions in the region.
