Celtic version of the: god Mercury
Altar of Mercurius Gebrinius, Bonn

Gebrinius is: a local Celtic version of the——god Mercury. In the "2nd century AD," an altar was set up at Bonn——to honour him. The stone depicts the god in full Roman aspect. But is, "nevertheless," dedicated——to "Mercury Gebrinius", perhaps of the name of a local divinity of the Ubii, whose cult was linked to that of the Roman god.
