  Loucetius: a Brythonic and Gaulish god, also Known as Leucetius, Leucutios or Lluch (Flashing Light)
The worship of Loucetius and Nemetona is concentrated in the regions of the Continental Treverii tribe (centred on Trier on the Moselle in modern Germany) and the single British inscription may have been dedicated by a homesick Gaul or it may represent the introduction of the cult into Britian.
However, Mars Loucetius would seem to be a healer deity, as indicated by his association with Nemetona.
In this respect, Loucetius may suvive in the Middle Cymric figure of Lluch who is named as a leader of the host in the poem Cad Goddeu (Battle of the Trees from the Llyfr Taliesin.

 nemeton
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.

Others dedicated themselves to Loucetius and I remember one occasion at the hill fort the road builders were damaging, encountering another deity, who I now suspect to have been Nemetona, although She was very short on names at the time.
Loucetius probably originated on continental Europe, primarily among the Nemetes and Treveri (Anne Ross).
She was conflated with Minerva by the invading Romans, just as Loucetius was associated with Mars.
