Celtic
Horses
To the Celts, the horse was one of the most
important animal allies. Epona was the Celtic horse goddess
whose authority extended even beyond death, assisting the soul
on its final journey. Her cult was adopted by the Roman army
and they spread her worship wherever they went. She was the
only Celtic Goddess to be honored by the Romans with a temple
in their capital city. Epona is depicted sitting side saddle
or lying on a horse, or standing with multiple horses around
her.
