Cupra (goddess)

Cupra (also spelled Cubrar, Ikiperu, Kypra or Supra) was a chthonic fertility goddess of the ancient pre-Roman population of the Piceni and the Umbri, and may have been associated with Etruscan Uni.

Dedications to her have been found at Plestia (attested as matres ple(s)tinas)[1] and Ripatransone, and in Cupramontana and Cupra Marittima, which are named after her.[2]
