Satiada

Satiada

Satiada was a Celtic goddess worshipped in Roman Britain. She is known from a single, unadorned altar-stone dedicated to her at Chesterholm "(Vindolanda)". [http://www.roman-britain.org/places/vindolanda.htm#rib1695 Vindolanda] at www.roman-britain.org] The inscription reads::DEAE / SAIIADAE / CVRIA TEX / TOVERDORVM / V·S·L·M:"To the goddess Satiada, the council of the Textoverdi willingly and deservedly fulfilled their vow." [B. Collingwood and R.P. Wright. "The Roman Inscriptions of Britain". Oxford. RIB 1695. Quoted at [http://www.roman-britain.org/places/vindolanda.htm#rib1695 www.roman-britain.org] ]

The Textoverdi, whose "curia" left this altar, are otherwise unknown.

The name on the stone may alternatively be read as "Sattada" (the form used by Jufer and Luginbühl [Nicole Jufer & Thierry Luginbühl (2001). "Les dieux gaulois : répertoire des noms de divinités celtiques connus par l'épigraphie, les textes antiques et la toponymie." Paris: Editions Errance. ISBN 2-87772-200-7. p.61.] ), "Saitada" or "Saiiada". If it is read as "Satiada," the name may conceivably be related to the Proto-Celtic "*sāti-" ‘saturation’ or "*satjā-" ‘swarm’. [Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies, University of Wales. " [http://www.wales.ac.uk/documents/external/cawcs/pcl-moe.pdf Proto-Celtic—English lexicon] ."
