::summary Illyrian deity ::

Andinus is an Illyrian god worshipped among the Dardanians, in the Roman province of Moesia Superior. He is considered to have been the indigenous god of vegetation and soil fertility. The god is attested in votive inscriptions from Kosovo, one clearly readable found in Kaçanik, and the other more difficult to read found in Vushtrri.

Personal names such as Andio, Andia, etc. were common among the Dardanians, and they are considered to be derived from the name of the Dardanian god. As the region of Kosovo was located on the road that went from the Adriatic Sea to Dacia, personal names like Ulpius Andinus or Ulpia Andia appeared among new citizens in the area during the reign of Trajan.
