The Gaulish God to Whom Vebrumaros offered is typically called "Taranis" today, following the spelling in Lucanus' Pharsalia. But Gaulish votive inscriptions like the above imply a nominative of Taranus instead.
It's anybody's guess why Lucanus spelled it as Taranis, and he wasn't necessarily wrong! But the form found in #Gaulish #votives themselves should be given more attention and precedence than they have heretofore received.
