The matronae Austriahenae are a triad of goddesses. Over 150 Romano-Germanic votive inscriptions to them were discovered near Morken-Harff, Germany, datable to around 150–250 CE. The name of these goddesses derives from the stem austri-, which, if Germanic, would be cognate with the Old English Eostre.
