InGallo-Roman religion,Ancamna was a goddess worshipped particularly in the valley of the riverMoselle. She was commemorated atTrier andRipsdorf as the consort ofLenusMars,^[1] and atMöhn as the consort of MarsSmertulitanus.^[2][3] At Trier, altars were set up in honour of Lenus Mars, Ancamna and thegenii of variouspagi of theTreveri, giving the impression of Lenus Mars and Ancamna as tribal protectors honoured in an officially organized cult.^[4][5] Among the few statuettes left asvotive offerings at the sanctuary of Mars Smertulitanus and Ancamna at Möhn is one of agenius cucullatus like those offered to the Xulsigiae at the Lenus Mars temple complex in Trier.^[6]

Inciona is also apparently invoked along with Lenus MarsVeraudunus on a bronzeex voto from Luxembourg;^[7] it is unclear what connection, if any, exists between Inciona and Ancamna. Jufer and Luginbühl link Ancamna with two other consorts of the Gaulish Mars,Litavis andNemetona, noting that none of these appear to be warrior goddesses themselves; instead, they suggest that Ancamna might have been associated with aspring.^[3] Edith Wightman considers the couple MarsLoucetius andNemetona to be "closely similar to if not identical with, Lenus and Ancamna".^[8]
