In the 1840s, Leonhard Schmitz asserted that images of Bubona were also placed in stables, but all the passages he cites that describe the practice name only Epona; see Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology (London, 1849), vol. 1, p. 515 online; this appears in other editions as well. See also Ludwig Preller, Römische Mythologie (Berlin, 1858), pp. 594–595, and Hermann Usener, Götternamen: Versuch einer Lehre von der Religiösen Begriffsbildung (Frankfurt, 1896), p. 77–78.
