Camulus or Camulos is a Celtic deity who was identified with Mars via interpretatio romana [1] Roman Britain and Gaul , especially among the Belgae and the Remi ,[1] Grand Est around Reims .
Name
[ edit ]
The etymology of the name is uncertain. It has been compared with the Old Irish cumall , meaning 'champion'.
Attestations
[ edit ]
Evidence of Camulus' popularity can be seen in several place-names, notably Camulodunum .[1]
Camulus is named in combination with Mars in inscriptions coming from Reims,[3] Arlon ,[4] Kruishoutem ,[5] Rindern ,[6] Mainz ,[7] Bar Hill Fort near the Antonine Wall ,[8] Sarmizegetusa ,[9] Southwark, London .[10] [11]
The town Camulodunum (now Colchester ) in Essex may have been named after him (and is the conjectured basis for the legendary city of Camelot ).[12] Latinised form of the Brittonic Camulodūnon from Camulos plus dūnon Iron Age earthwork defences.[13]
Theories
[ edit ]
Attempts from the 20th century and earlier to link the name Camulus with the nursery rhyme character Old King Cole , and with Irish mythological Cumhall , the hero Fionn 's father, have been rejected by contemporary scholars.[1]
