Gebrinius is a local Celtic version of the god Mercury. In the 2nd Century AD an altar was set up at Bonn to honour him. The stone depicts the god in full Roman aspect, but is nevertheless dedicated to "Mercury Gebrinius", perhaps of the name of the local divinity of the Ubii, whose cult was linked to that of the Roman god.
