Rudianos

In ancient Celtic religion, Rudianos was a war god worshiped in Gaul.

The name "Rudianos" means 'red',[2] reflecting the warlike nature of the god.

At Saint-Michel-de-Valbonne there was also found a prehistoric image of a mounted war-god, dating to the 6th Century BC, who could perhaps be Rudianos himself.

The iconography is evocative of the head-hunting exploits of the Celts, who hung the heads of their battle victims from their saddles, according to classical writers.
