Vanammon
deity Berber single tradition · 1
Vanammon is a figure to whom a temple was dedicated in the Roman fort of Gholaia (modern-day Bu Njem). Rene Rebuffat propounds that Van- meant roughly 'son of' for the Berbers, thereby interpreting the temple's dedicatee as Gurzil. Andy Merrills raises doubts over this connection, writing that multiple other figures were considered sons of Ammon in the ancient world, including Alexander the Great.
