geographical position, but states that, together with six, other tribes, including the Varini (the Warni of later times), they worshipped a goddess named Nerthus, whose See also:

home of the See also:

• PENINSULA (Lat. paeninsula, from paene, almost, and insula, an island)

English and Danish traditions dealing with persons and events of the 4th century (see below), and partly from the fact that striking See also:

• AFFINITIES

affinities to the cult of Nerthus as described by Tacitus are to be found in Scandinavian, especially See also:

Swedish and Danish, See also:
