Fun Fact! Romans actually generally did not regard the peoples they conquered as worshiping different gods than the Romans themselves did. After all, doesn’t everyone worship a god of war, and a god of family, and a god of healing? What does it matter, theologically speaking, what worshippers call them? A rose by any other name…
Toutatis is usually identified by Roman sources as either Mercury (the god of trade) or Mars (the god of war), just worshipped under one of those funny, furrin names! Silly Gauls and their silly language!
They already did this themselves by associating their gods with the much more developed Greek ones, so makes sense.
the empire so violently patriotic and cocksure that they just pre-emptively said the rest of the world was roman and simply didn’t realize it.

Hey, that doesn’t look like Asterix!
I read that as ‘Garlic Gods’ and was rather confused
By the bread of the gods!
By the power of
RaRye!
What episode of Bluey was that?
Throne looks like episode “Queens” (Season 2, Episode 23)
Huh, whaddya know, he really does say that in the episode! Thematically appropriate, too, because Teutatis was a “protector of the tribe” and equated with Mars, and Bandit said it right before going to war with Lucky’s Dad because his palm tree kept dropping leaves in their yard.
Asterix did it a lot too. Which makes sense.
