I removed "She may have been married to Esus. A similar goddess was Andarta." because there is no basis for those statements that I am aware of. This goddess is known from a single bronze statue, with a Gaulish inscription. -- Nantonos 9 July 2005 17:29 (UTC)
This is pretty waffly as well - who says it - sources
I removed
on the grounds that Muri is actually the place near Berne where this one statue was found. -- Nantonos 00:13, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
I notice a more significant problem - the name is wrong. The actual inscription is Deae Artioni which is in the dative case. In Gaulish, occulsive themes can end in -i (which would give a nominative Artion) and themes in -a can also, at a later date, end in -i which would give a nominative Artiona. Either way, this goddess is not called Artio, which would (besides being more likely masuline) give a dative Artiui. -- Nantonos 00:32, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
You could consider the link between her name and that of the Greek goddess Artemis, who had a bear cult at Brauron Fuficius Fango ( talk) 07:41, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
