	Toutatis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Teutates is also known under the names of Albiorix ("king of the world") and Caturix ("king of the battle").
		Teutates was worshipped especially in Gaul and in Roman Britain, altar-stones raised to him having been recovered in the United Kingdom, such as at Cumberland Quarries (1017 [IOM et Mars Toutatis]).
		Teutates may be derived from the Proto-Celtic *teutāto- meaning 'tribally united' (q.v.

	Esus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The difficulty of working out to which deity inhabitants of Roman Britain are referring when they mention Mars is profound.
		So “Mercury” as a spirit of interaction may be a characteristic of the warrior, while “Mars” as the spirit of martial character may serve to shield the tribe from invasion.

	Teutates (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Lucan's commentator in the Berne Scholia (a medieval monk) identifies Teutates with Mercury, Esus with Mars, and Taranis with Dispater (Pluto).
		Of course, it's difficult (and frankly foolish) to identify completely the gods of one culture with that of another; even the Romans and Greeks have some discrepancies.
		Teutates, if Mars and thus both war god and fertility god, may simply be a title for another god, which would here be the equivalent of the Irish Nuada, the Welsh Nudd, and British Nodens.

		But if, as seems likely, teutates is primarily a title ("god of the tribe") rather than a name, then such confusion is explainable: the god of sovereignty and the arts, "Mercurius," will also function as a warrior, while the god of war, "Mars," will often function as the protector of the tribe.
		Consequently, their functions will sometimes overlap, and it may be a matter of chance or circumstance which is given preeminence in a given time or place.
		TEUTATES, a Celtic deity of uncertain attributes, was variously identified by the Romans with Mars and with Mercury.

		It is probably he who appears on the famous embossed silver bowl found in Gundestrup, Denmark which dates from the 1st or 2nd century BC.
		The Roman writer Lucan (1st century AD) mentions the gods Taranis, Teutates and Esus, but there is little Celtic evidence that these were important deities.
		Some of these gods and goddesses may have been variants of each other; Epona the Gallo-Roman horse goddess, for instance, may well have been a development of the goddess Machan, who was mostly worshipped in Ulster.

		The name Teutates means simply ‘the tribe’ or ‘the people’ and would seem to be connected to tribal identity.
		Religious doctrine and philosophy translated within the imagery of Esus, for not only is he associated with trees but also the bull of noble birth and fertility and the three cranes of druidic wisdom.
		Victims of Teutates were asphyxiated by being plunged head foremost into a full vat, (such imagery can be seen on the Gundestrup cauldron) those of Esus were suspended from trees and ritually wounded and those of Taranis were burned, often in cages or human wickerwork constructions.

	The Gods Go To War
		Alternatively, Teutates could be an actual deity, albeit less powerful than Mars, the real God of War.
		A third option is that Mars and Teutates are in fact the same being, only given different names and appearances by different people believing in him.
		In such a case, it is highly unlikely that the two sects of followers would go to war (since they both serve the same god anyway, he would gain nothing from them fighting each other).

	Albiorix (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Judging by an inscription found in Avignon, the Romans refered to him as "Mars Albiorix," which would then put him in the same category of the Gallic god Teutates, who was (it is believed by scholars) refered to by the Romans as the god Mars.
		As Teutates' name means "the god of the people" and Albiorix's name "king of the world" one can see that this god of war was also the protecting god of the tribe.
		This is in fact the case--Albiorix was protector of the Albici tribe in southern Gaul (from which they took their name, or vice versa); he was considered a mountain god.

		Teutates -- celtic import of Dis Pater (wealth God) from the Druids.
		Commentary: Teutates doesn't have the invisibility attribute, but is literally a mysterious God of wealth (derived from Dis Pater) that nobody really knows much about -- so is forgotten in the literal sense that there are few written records of Him.

		Fourthly, the Romans were deeply impressed with the existence among the Druids of a body of teaching of a quasi-scientific nature about natural phenomena and the constitution of the universe.
		Lucan, however, was very much of a sycophant to Julius Caesar, and it is only to be expected that he should have emphasised the savagery of Gallic cults so as to justify the massacres ordered by the bald dictator and his successors, and their policy of systematically exterminating druidism.
		Anxious to demonstrate his knowledgeability, Lucan's commentator identifies Teutates with Mercury, Esus with Mars and Taranis with Dispater, whereas Gallo-Roman inscriptions identify Teutates with Mars, Esus with Mercury and Taranis with Jupiter.

		According to one of the sources cited by the later writer the victims of Teutates were asphyxiated by being plunged head foremost into a full vat, those of Esus were suspended from trees and ritually wounded, and those of Taranis were burned, numbers of them together in cages of wood.
		The sacrifice to Esus is not clearly defined, but it may be the remnant of a myth similar to that of the Germanic Odin who hung on the World Tree for nine days and nine nights and whose victims were likewise left hanging on trees.
		It is not surprising, therefore, that on some inscriptions he is qualified as Teutates, that is to say, as the tutelary god of the tribe: as already remarked, teutates appears originally to have been a descriptive term rather than a proper name, though it may well have evolved towards the latter.

		Mac Cana said of this account 'that it implies, erroneously, the existence of a pantheon of gods worshipped more or less universally throughout Gaul, and secondly, that it enunciates a clear differentiation of divine functions for which there is no evidence in Celtic tradition'.
		There may not be native evidence for a single, hierarchical group of deities universally worshipped but there is evidence for some deities which were popular across the Celtic lands and whom may be referred to as pan-tribal Celtic deities.
		One unexplained element in this comparison is that the length of the hammer appears to be significant for both gods in that Sucellos's iconography shows a long-shafted hammer (as at the end of a full length staff) whilst the Norse myths tell that Mjollnir had a shorter than usual shaft.
