Everything about Camulus
Ancient Celtic war god
Camulus or Camulos was a god of Gaulish and Brittonic religion, generally identified with the Roman god Mars through the interpretatio romana. He is known chiefly from Latin votive inscriptions of the 1st to 3rd centuries AD, found in northern Gaul and the German provinces and as far afield as Britain and Dacia, and his cult was particularly associated with the Remi of the Reims region.
