Gaulish Dis Pater

Iron Age Europe

In Book 6 of his Commentaries on the Gallic War, Julius Caesar refers to a Gaulish god whom the druids believed that all the Gauls were descended from. He does not give this god's name, but refers to him under the name of a Roman god he deemed comparable: Dis Pater, Roman god of prosperity and of the underworld.
