'''Erecura''' or '''Aerecura''' {{IPAc-en|ɛ|r|ᵻ|ˈ|k|jʊər|ə}} (also found as ''Herecura'' or ''Eracura'') was a goddess worshipped in ancient times, often thought to be [[Celt]]ic in origin, mostly represented with the attributes of [[Proserpina]] and associated with the [[Roman mythology|Roman]] [[underworld]] god [[Dis Pater]], as on an altar from Sulzbach. She appears with Dis Pater in a statue found at [[Oberseebach]], [[Switzerland]], and in several magical texts from Austria, once in the company of [[Cerberus]] and once probably with [[Ogmios]]. A further inscription to her has been found near [[Stuttgart]], Germany. Besides her [[chthonic]] symbols, she is often depicted with such attributes of fertility as the [[cornucopia]] and apple baskets. She is believed to be similar to Greek [[Hecate]], while the two goddesses share similar names. She is depicted in a seated posture, wearing a full robe and bearing trays or baskets of fruit, in depictions from Cannstatt<ref name="beck135"/> and Sulzbach.<ref name="beck136"/> Miranda Green calls Aericura a "[[Gaulish]] [[Hecuba]]",<ref>[[#green|Green]] (2004), p. 124.</ref> while Noémie Beck characterizes her as a "land-goddess" sharing both underworld and fertility aspects with Dis Pater.<ref name="beck137"/>

Representations of Erecura are most commonly found in the [[Danube|Danubian]] area of [[Southern Germany]] and [[Slovenia]], but they also occur in Italy, Great Britain, and France. Her inscriptions are concentrated in [[Stuttgart]] and along the [[Rhine]]. Several monuments in honour of Erecura occur in cemeteries or other funereal contexts.<ref name="beck137"/> [[Jona Lendering]] notes the similarity between her iconography and that of [[Nehalennia]], who was worshipped in [[Germania Inferior]],<ref name="lendering"/> while Beck sees no significant difference between her attributes and those of the [[Matres and Matronae]].<ref name="beck135"/> Geographically, the areas in which Erecura and Dis Pater were worshipped appear to be in complementary distribution with those where the cult of [[Sucellus]] and [[Nantosuelta]] is attested, and Beck suggests that these cults were functionally similar although iconographically distinct.<ref name="beck137">[[#beck|Beck]] (2009), p. 137.</ref>
