Egeria, nymph, legendary consort and instructor of Numa Pompilius in the religion and rituals of the Roman people. This was in the sacred grove of Carmentis. She is one of the Camenae, spring deities. Scholars agree that the etyomology of her name is from the indo-european word for lake; a true water deity.[1]
