Alaisiagae

In Romano-British culture and Germanic polytheism, the Alaisiagae deae /ˌæliəˈsaɪəˌdʒiː/ were Germanic goddesses who deified victory, or, in an alternative interpretation, embodied justice. Their names — possibly meaning the "all‑respected" or "all‑feared" (from Proto West-Germanic *all- + *aizō- "honour, fear") — were mentioned in connection with the syncretic Romano-Celtic god of justice Mars Thincsus or Thingsus, who is commonly associated with the Germanic god *Tīwaz (Old Norse: Týr).
