In classical Celtic polytheism, Annea Clivana was the name given to a goddess or female spirit worshipped in Canale in Veneto in the territory of the Cenomani Celts in Italy.[1] She was identified with the Roman goddess Juno[2] and was portrayed as being in the company of a genius loci.[1] Because of the philological correspondence between her name and that of Áine, it is tempting to see the theonyms Áine and Annea as cognates.
