Belenus

Back to shelf
Conservative living grimoire portrait of Belenus in restrained northern Adriatic Roman provincial clothing.

Belenus is a securely attested Continental Celtic god named by Tertullian for the Norici and by the Historia Augusta in the cult of Aquileia, where a source-specific Apollo identification is recorded; the surviving literary controls do not establish a secure standalone portrait.
