	Pillar of the Boatmen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pillar of the Boatmen (Pilier des nautes) is a square-section stone bas-relief with depictions of several deities, both Gaulish and Roman.
		The pillar is dated by a dedication to emperor Tiberius, who became Emperor in 14 AD.
		The pillar was found on 6 March 1710 (not 1711, as is often erroneously stated) during the construction of a crypt under the nave of Notre-Dame de Paris and first published by Baudelot de Dairval in 1712.

	Cernunnos - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The earliest known probable depiction of Cernunnos was found at Val Camonica in Italy, dating from the 4th century BC, while the best known depiction is on the famous Gundestrup cauldron of pre-Germanic Denmark, dating to the 1st century BC.
		In Gallo-Roman religion, his name is known from the "Pillar of the Boatmen" (Pilier des nautes), a monument now displayed in the Musée Nationale du Moyen Age in Paris.
		It was constructed by Gaulish sailors in the early first century CE, from the inscription (CIL XIII number 03026) probably in the year 14, on the accession of the emperor Tiberius Claudius Nero.

		In art, he was portrayed cutting branches from trees with his axe; see for example the Pillar of the Boatmen among the Parisii and the pillar from Trier among the Treveri.
		Worship of Esus was depicted in the Bern Commentaries as very gory, with the main rite used for redemption or for honoring him involving a sacrifice being chosen by a tribal chief, and once chosen, is taken to the altar-stones, bent backwards over the center stone, and disemboweled.
		"Esus" is mentioned as being encountered in southern Gaul by Caesar's troops in the above-mentioned Pharsalia, and the Pillar of the Boatmen is put up between 14 and 37 AD (exact date determined by the inscription).

	Spain Travel - Seville
		He died, not at Seville, but at Valladolid ; and his remains were moved about from pillar to post until it seemed that the doughty admiral was destined to be as great a voyager in death as he had been in life.
		He lay for years in an obscure church in the Triana district of Seville, and was later transported to the New World he had discovered, — first to Hayti and later to Havana, in which latter place he rested until the war of 1898 deprived Spain of her last shred of empire.

	Chronarchy.Com: Essays: Esus: Esus and Jesus: a False Connection
		The Nautes Pillar (Pillar of the Boatmen) shows the most important deities in Gaul, and Esus is represented as being like Jupiter, and so if Esus and Jesus are related, this shows his importance.
		But if the pillar includes "important" deities in general, then we need to think about the other deities on it as important as well: Castor and Pollux, I'm afraid, hardly seem like they were "on the level" with Iovis and the "Mars" deity on the column.
		They erected the pillar in a location that it could be seen by everyone in their tribe, and it promoted their standing in the community.

	The Gaulish God, Smertrios: Thrice-abundant One
		The deity is also invoked at Grossbuch in Austria (both these inscriptions lie in the lands of the Treveri and some have proposed that he was a tutelary deity of this people).
		Smertios' persence on the Nautes Pillar (Pillar of the Boatmen) in Paris, indicates that he was considered amongst the ranks of the 'high gods' (he is depicted here along with Cernunnos, Esus and Tarvos Trigaranos and a fragmentary figure that may represent Rosmerta).
		His name has been interpreted as deriving from the reconstructed proto-Celtic elements smer- (abundant), trīs- (three) and the masculine ending -os thus Smertrios is the 'Thrice-abundant One' and his equation with Roman Mars in Koblenz is probably in respect of Mars' aspect as a deity of abundance and fecundity.

	Tarvos Trigaranus: a Gaulish God (Bull with Three Cranes)
		The Tarvos Trigaranus is known from a dedication and an accompanying relief carved upon the famous Pillar des Nautes (Pillar of the Boatmen) unearthed beneath the cathedral of Notre-Dame, Paris in 1711.
		One facet of the pillar (shown above) represents a bull standing behind a tree.
		This directly links the Paris pillar representation with a carving found at Trier, Germany (see the page on Esus for an image and more details) which shows Esus cutting down a willow tree, in the branches of which reside a bull and three 'cranes'.

		On this journey I found all those people very kind and obliging with whom I came into no sort of pecuniary relation; but the hosts, the boatmen, the drivers, the guides, were as selfish and grasping as in any other country.

		Our boatmen ran the sloop close inshore, and carried the captain and myself through the shallow water, carefully setting us down on dry stones, but remaining in the sea themselves.
		As we landed, the low golden rays of the afternoon sun were slanting through the pillared palm stems and quaintly beautiful pandanus fronds, across the snowy beach, and its trailing gold-flowered vines.
		The water of the lagoon, coloured like the gems in the gates of the Heavenly City, lapped softly on the shore; the perpetual trade wind poured through the swaying trees, shaking silvery gleams from the lacquered crests of the palms.

		Be wary of mismatched shadow directions (viking shadow versus pillar shadows) and more accurately representing out-of-gamut lighting (if the light is bright enough to occlude any detail outside and create those blooms around the edges it should probably be shaded all the way to white rather than light green).
		Be wary of the variance in perspective of the pillar bases and the tangent shared by the angel wing and the pillar edge.
