"A team of researchers led by Daniel Iborra Pellín, from the University of Alicante, has presented new evidence about the name and worship of the Iberian Dea Mater, the chief female deity of the Iberians during the Iron Age. According to the study published in the journal Complutum, this deity, a symbol of fertility and associated with the planet Venus, was known as Iunstir, a name that reveals cultural and religious connections with other Mediterranean civilizations."
