Abgatiacus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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[1]. The god bearing the name was assimilated to Mercury and is depicted in the company of Rosmerta[2]. He holds the caduces in his hand and at his feet is a cock[3]. The inscription in which the theonym appears reads as follows:

IN HONOR(EM) D(OMVS) D(IVINAE) MERCVR(IO) ABGATIAC(O) ROSMERTAE AEDEM QVI FILIVS [4]
