 | | Peregrinus, son of Secundus, citizen of the Treveri, for Loucetius Mars and Nemetona, willingly and deservedly fulfilled his vow. |
 | | As Mars is refered to as "Mars Loucetius" at one altar, it is likely that the name refers back to the culture heros like Lugh and Nemed, who battled the powers of chaos in order to establish the land and regain soveriegnty. |
 | | Their association with the nemeton is then perhaps that these are the ultmate sacred spots, and so naturally the place to worship the god and goddess of sovereignty. |
