Nehalennia is the goddes of the sea. Most likely she was the Mother goddess of the Celtic and/or German peoples of fertility. She was conscripted by the Roman empire as a goddess of sailing, trade and fertility. What is special about her is that she has a dog and she wears a short jacket.
The village was named Ganuenta and it was an important trading village for fish, garum, pottery and wine. It is situated in the delta of the Rhine, the Meuse and the Scheldt and it was a switch in trade to the inlands of the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and towards England and France.
