Abstract
En el foro de la ciudad de Arucci se ha descubierto
recientemente una inscripción dedicada a
un conjunto de divinidades femeninas llamadas
Rixamae (Bermejo, 2012), lo que lleva ineludiblemente
a ponerla en relación con la cita que el poeta
Marcial ofrece en uno de sus epigramas relativo a
las ciudades de la Celtiberia en el que menciona las
danzas de Rixama (IV, 55, 15). El hallazgo de esta
tabella en el contexto del foro y junto a uno de los
sacella refuerza la funcionalidad religiosa de estas
estancias, así como el culto a divinidades femeninas
o matres de clara raigambre céltica en este recinto
en un momento avanzado del s. I d.C., de lo que cabría
establecer la existencia de un santuario urbano
dedicado a su culto.
