I normally would not stoop to mentioning such a disreputable person as J.K. #Rowling, but unfortunately she seems to be invoking the names of #Gaulish Gods now, as part of her fanatical bigot campaign:
#HogwartsLegacy has reportedly introduced a trans woman character named #Sirona Ryan.

This stela of an unusually muscular #Mercury from #Lugdunum is a great example of the Mercurius #Gebrinius icon, where He rests His bag of money on the head of a ram.
This piqued my interest especially because the only inscriptions we have to #Gebrinios that I know of are from Germania, much further Northeast.
If only the inscription on this stela had survived like the icon did...

CW: Dévá Eponá
The Goddess Epona is one of the most well-known from the Keltiké, but She was not always called exactly that.
One of the most striking variations of Her name comes from Apuleius' novel The Golden Ass, where he tells a story about a shrine to "Hippona" that was kept inside a stable. This variant is clearly influenced by the Greek word ἵππος (híppos) 'horse'.
Other known variants of Her name include EPHONA, YPONA, and even EPANA.
Besides the theonym proper, there are also theophoric personal names such as Épponus, Epponina, and Eponeilus. Interestingly, a Galatian theophoric name, Ἐπόνη, preserves the Celtic spelling and pronunciation in spite of its Hellenized context (in contrast to Apuleius).
