Everything about Segomo
Ancient Celtic war god
Segomo was an ancient Celtic god worshipped in eastern Gaul, generally understood as a god of war and victory. He is attested only in inscriptions, in which he appears chiefly as a byname of the Roman Mars under the interpretatio romana, most often as Mars Segomo, though at one site he is named on his own as deo Segomoni. Because the same element possibly also attaches to the Roman Hercules and recurs in personal names across the Celtic world, Segomo is generally taken to be a descriptive title rather than a proper name. His cult is concentrated among the Sequani and their neighbours the Aedui and Ambarri, in the region of the upper Saône and Rhône. Wikipedia →
