Dea Matrona
Dea Matrona, the divine mother goddess, was the Gaulish goddess who gave her name to the river Marne. She was often depicted nursing babies or holding fruits, other foods, or small dogs in her lap. In many areas, such Matronae were depicted in groups of three (or sometimes two). The name of Welsh mythological figure Modron, mother of Mabon is derived from the same etymon. By analogy, Dea Matrona may conceivably have been considered the mother of the Gaulish Maponos.
