| Bubona is the Roman Cow-Goddess who watches over and protects cattle, and oversees their multiplication and health. |
| Bubona may have originally been a guardian spirit of horses as well; but when the Romans encountered the Gauls, they adopted Epona as the Horse-Goddess par excellence. |
| Both Bubona and Epona protected the stables and the creatures within, and little shrines to Them were made in niches in the walls, or on the pillar holding up the barn roof. |
