Nabelcus

Nabelcus is the name of a Celtic god who, according to the Interpretatio Romana, was equated with Mars .

The name Nabelcus can be found on three dedicatory inscriptions near Saint-Didier in the Vaucluse department ( Carpentrate in the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis ): two of them in Monieux , one in Carpentras . An otherwise unknown Dea Eviata is said to have been the special spring goddess of the nearby thermal baths.
