Proxsumes
The religious landscape of ancient Gaul shrouds many deities in mystery, and the Proxsumes are no exception. Hailing from Vaison-la-Romaine in Provence, these Celtic gods remain elusive figures. Despite our limited knowledge, two archaeological finds offer a tantalizing hint of their existence.
Unearthed altars stand as silent testaments to the worship of the Proxsumes. While the inscriptions on these altars don’t reveal much about the deities themselves, their presence speaks volumes about the spiritual life of Vaison-la-Romaine’s Celtic inhabitants. These artifacts serve as stepping stones into a lost world, where the Proxsumes held a place of importance. Perhaps future discoveries will unveil more about their nature and the role they played in the Celtic pantheon.
