Taranis

Back to shelf
Living grimoire painting of bearded Taranis holding one six-spoked wheel and one solid thunderbolt.

Taranis is named by Lucan and has related Roman-period dedications to Tanarus and Taranucus; wheel-and-thunderbolt imagery is preserved in institutionally identified Gallo-Roman material, while individual uninscribed images remain qualified.
