Celtic Horses Earrings

To the Celts, the horse was one of the most critical animal allies. Epona was the Celtic horse goddess whose authority extended even beyond death, assisting the soul on its final journey. The Roman army adopted her cult, and they spread her worship wherever they went. She was the only Celtic Goddess to be honored by the Romans with a temple in their capital city. Epona is depicted sitting side saddle or lying on a horse, or standing with multiple horses around her.
