Abgatiacus

In classical Celtic polytheism, Abgatiacus was a theonym referring to a Gallo-Roman deity. The theonym is known only from a single inscription found with a representation of the god discovered at Noviomagus, now Neumagen in Germany [ [http://www.arbre-celtique.com/encyclopedie/abgatiacus-4043.htm Abgatiacus - 4043 - L'encyclopédie - L'Arbre Celtique ] ] . The god bearing the name was assimilated to Mercury and is depicted in the company of Rosmerta [ [http://www.arbre-celtique.com/encyclopedie/abgatiacus-4043.htm Abgatiacus - 4043 - L'encyclopédie - L'Arbre Celtique ] ] . He holds the caduces in his hand and at his feet is a cock [ [http://www.arbre-celtique.com/encyclopedie/abgatiacus-4043.htm Abgatiacus - 4043 - L'encyclopédie - L'Arbre Celtique ] ] .
