Albruna, Aurinia or Albrinia are some of the forms of the name of a probable Germanic seeress who would have lived in the late 1st century BC or in the early 1st century AD. She was mentioned by Tacitus in Germania, after the seeress Veleda, and he implied that the two were venerated because of true divine inspiration by the Germanic peoples, in contrast to Roman women who were fabricated into goddesses. It has also been suggested that she was the frightening giant woman who addressed the Roman general Drusus in his own language and made him turn back at the Elbe, only to die shortly after, but this may also be an invention to explain why a consul of Rome would have turned back.

  • Albruna (lateinisch Albrinia, Aurinia) war eine germanische Seherin, die Anfang des 1. Jahrhunderts tätig war. Sie ist einzig in der Germania des Tacitus genannt. Augenscheinlich hatte sie während der Feldzüge des Drusus und Tiberius in der Zeit von 9 v. Chr. bis 14 n. Chr. einiges Ansehen und erscheint deshalb im Bericht des Tacitus. Außer dem Namen ist zur Person nichts Weiteres bekannt. Die Funktion als Seherin ergibt sich aus der Etymologie des Namens und aus der quellenbedingten Vergesellschaftung mit der Seherin Veleda. – Tacitus, Germania 8, 2. (de)
