Atepomarus
aka Mercury Atepomarus

Gaulish deity.

His name either means "having great horses" or "very great horse"--either way, the horse was associated with kingship in Celtic culture. As some gods equated with Mercury seem to have been "God of the Tribe" or carying names that have -rix in them, this may be another kingship deity.
