Moccus

Moccus or Moccos is a Celtic god who is attested in one 2nd or 3rd century AD inscription from Langres, in which he is identified with the Roman god Mercury. Moccus has been connected, on etymological grounds, with pigs and boars. The boar was a potent symbol, of the hunt and of war, but also of prosperity.

Langres was within the tribal territory of the Lingones, a Gallic tribe. The Lingones were perhaps devotees of Moccus. Another indication of boar worship, the Euffigneix statue of a Celtic god with boar-relief on his chest, was found in the territory of the Lingones.
