Bandua

Bandua was a god of the pre-Roman peoples of western Iberia, worshipped in what is now northern and central Portugal, Galicia and western Spain. He is known from dozens of Latin altar inscriptions of the Roman period, where his name often carries an epithet linking him to a particular community. He is usually seen as a protector of communities and warriors among the Callaeci and Lusitanians.
