Artio of Muri

Fertility goddess and guardian spirit of bears.

Romano-Celtic (Continental European). Known only from inscriptions and sculptures in the Berne region of Switzerland, she is linked with bears. A bronze depicts her offering fruit to a bear. She seems also to be a goddess of prosperity and harvest. She became syncretized with the Roman god Mercury as Mercury Artaios. Also Artemis Brauronia.
