nature_spirit water single tradition · 1
Urnia is assumed to be a water deity, most likely representing the Fontaine d'Eure near Uzès. The Fontaine d'Eure was the major source of water for the Pont du Gard aqueduct built in the 1st century CE by the Romans. Urnia is probably related to an inscription set up by the cultores Urae fontis (caretakers of the spring of Ura) near the nymphaeum at Uzès, ancient Ucetia.
