In Lusitanian and Celtic polytheism, Borvo (also Bormo, Bormanus, Bormanicus, Borbanus, Boruoboendua, Vabusoa, Labbonus or Borus) was a healing deity associated with bubbling spring water.〔(The Religion of the Ancient Celts: Chapter III. The Gods of Gaul and the Continental Celts )〕 ==Centres of worship== In Gaul, he was particularly worshipped at Bourbonne-les-Bains, in the territory of the Lingones, where ten inscriptions are recorded. Two other inscriptions are recorded, one (CIL 13, 02901) from Entrains-sur-Nohain〔 and the other (CIL 12, 02443) from Aix-en-Savoie in Gallia Narbonensis.〔Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (CIL), 12: ''Gallia Narbonensis''.〕 Votive tablets inscribed ‘Borvo’ show that the offerers desired healing for themselves or others.〔 Many of the sites where offerings to Borvo have been found are in Gaul: inscriptions to him have been found in Drôme at Aix-en-Diois, Bouches-du-Rhône at Aix-en-Provence, Gers at Auch, Allier at Bourbon-l'Archambault, Savoie at Aix-les-Bains, Saône-et-Loire at Bourbon-Lancy, in Savoie at Aix-les-Bains, Haute-Marne at Bourbonne-les-Bains and in Nièvre at Entrains-sur-Nohain.〔()〕 However, findings have also been uncovered in the Netherlands at Utrecht,〔Garrett S. Olmsted, "The gods of the Celts and the Indo-Europeans", page 427〕 where he is called Boruoboendua Vabusoa Labbonus, and in Portugal at Caldas de Vizella and at Idanha a Velha, where he is called Borus and identified with Mars.〔 At Aix-en-Provence, he was referred to as Borbanus and Bormanus but at Caldas de Vizella in Portugal, he was hailed as Bormanicus,〔 and at Burtscheid and at Worms in Germany as Borbetomagus. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Borvo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
