Verostonos (or Vernostonus) was a god in ancient Celtic polytheism, worshipped in Roman Britain. His name links him to alder-trees. Altar-stones raised to him have been recovered in the United Kingdom, such as that at Ebchester in County Durham (RIB 1102, ''DEO VERNOSTONO COCIDIO VIRILIS GER V S L'').() His association with Cocidius in that inscription suggests that he may have been linked with, or an epithet of, that more widely attested war god. ==Etymology== Vernostonos may be derived from the Proto-Celtic '' *Werno-stonos'' meaning 'the Groaning of Alder-trunks ' (cf. () () ()). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vernostonos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
