Additional Information:
Nehalennia (spelled variously) is a Germanic or Celtic goddess attested by votive deposits discovered around what is now called the province of Zeeland, the Netherlands, where the Rhine River flowed into the North Sea, whose worship dates back at least to the 2nd century BC, and who flourished in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.
Nehalennia is attested on 28 inscriptions discovered in the Dutch town of Domburg, a similar number discovered between 1971 and 1972 in the town of Colijnsplaat, and 2 others from the Cologne-Deutz area of what is now Cologne, Germany. In August 2005, a replica of the Nehalennia temple near the lost town of Ganuenta was opened in Colijnsplaat. Asteroid 2462, or 6578 P-L, is named after the goddess, as is a corona on Venus.
