Is this god Lusitanian at all?

[edit]

E-Keltoi vol 6. says, "Two late gravestones (second and third centuries AD), are dedicated by people from Uxama who were far from their homes to the goddess Deganta (in Cacabelos, León) and to the god Bormanico (in Caldas de Vizella, Portugal). Both have Celtic roots and are probably linked to water..." Uxama is modern Soria - is Bormanico Celtiberian and not Lusitanian? Paul S (talk) 23:42, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Heavens!! And where is Caldas de Vizela?? There are two meanigs for "celtiberians" one is the name os a tribe the other is for the celts of Iberia including the ones from Lusitania. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.214.132.213 (talk) 23:31, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Lusitanian deities should be those deities unique to that part of the (possibly) Celtic world. Others, like this one should simply be called Celtic. Bormanico isn't even a proper name - it's the dative case of Latin Bormanicus. This article should be merged with the Celtic deity Borvo since it looks like the same god under a slightly different name. Paul S (talk) 11:00, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
