Talk:Mogons

Citation request
I presume the citation request is on any instances of Mogons in Germany. The Gallo-Roman instances seem pretty well substantiated. There doesn't seem to be any Mogons in Germany, however. The theory is probably based on the close similarity of the "might" words in Celtic and Germanic and is therefore more speculative than not. Accordingly I am commenting out the German part with the request for the citation, as there is no problem finding inscriptional evidence cited on the Internet for the Celtic Mogons. And for the Moguntiacum, look it up in the Encyclopedia Brtitannica under Mainz. If anyone knows this is a wrong interpretation please do restore the German Moguns and give the citation.Dave 02:53, 13 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't have any scholarly references here showing a link, but perhaps there might be a Germanic connection, specifically with the Norse deity Magni (Móði and Magni). Afalbrig (talk) 13:33, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

The mountain god
I doubt it. The god is not a local British one. The fact that Cumbria is mountainous is strictly accidental. I haven't seen anything mountainous so far but I am not done looking at evidence. There are inscriptions in Gaul, too. So, I will continue to work through the article, which, of course, I understand was in rudimentary form. I hope that the author was not trying to connect Mounti with mountain, as that would be a faux pas. No connection. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Botteville (talk • contribs) on 13 June 2006.

Citation, please.
"Mars, the state god of war, was perhaps too high in rank to appeal to the lowly soldiers. More to their liking would have been bodily might on the battlefield, for which the Celts provided a ready deity." Mars was widely worshiped by "lowly soldiers" in the Roman legions, so this doesn't make a lot of sense. Where's the source??Lily20 (talk) 22:42, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
