Moritasgus

[6][7][8][9] Xavier Delamarre proposed that the complete name means "Sea Badger", from Gaulish mori 'sea' + tasgos (also tascos or taxos), 'badger'.

[10] The European badger produced a secretion used in Gaulish medicaments, hence a possible connection with a healing god.

A dedication to the gods alludes to the presence of a shrine at the curative spring, where sick pilgrims could bathe in a sacred pool.

The sanctuary itself, located near the eastern gate of the town just outside the city wall,[12] was impressive, with baths and a temple.

These were models of the pilgrims and the afflicted parts of their bodies: these included limbs, internal organs, genitals, breasts, and eyes.
