Coventina

Coventina was a Romano-British goddess of wells and springs venerated at a sacred well near the Roman fort of Brocolitia (Carrawburgh) on Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland. The shrine, excavated in 1876, consisted of a rectangular stone basin surrounded by a walled enclosure approximately 12 m square over a natural spring. Excavations uncovered extraordinary votive deposits including about 16,000 coins, ten inscribed altars to Coventina and Minerva, two dedication slabs, a sculpture of three water nymphs, and clay incense burners. Evidence suggests the shrine was abruptly closed around AD 388, possibly linked to the anti-pagan edicts of Theodosius I.
