Arubianus
Arubianus or Arubinus was a Celtic god of the inscriptions in Southern Germany, and in Austria and Slovenia.
Mythology and Etymology
[edit]The name is Celtic for "tiller" or "God of the plowed field". Sometimes it is also used for the local god of the Roman-Celtic settlement Arrubium (Măcin, Romania held), his followers would have spread his religious practices in other areas. The name may be analogous with Arawn.
In the Gallo-Roman period Arubianus was identified with the god Jupiter, so it is perhaps a sky god or father of the gods. On the other hand, Jupiter was regarded as a protective god of the Roman settlements, so that can also apply to a local deity.[1]
