Veteris

Veteris (commonly spelled Vitiris, Vheteris, Huetiris, and Hueteris) was a Celtic god attested from many inscriptions in Roman Britain.

During the 3rd Century AD the cult was particularly popular among the ranks of the Roman army.

Veteris was worshipped in Roman Britain and altar-stones raised to him have been recovered in the United Kingdom,[1] such as those excavated at: Forty altars to this god are recorded altogether, some alluding to Veteris as a single entity, others to a multiple version, perhaps a triad.

Occasionally, there is iconography associated with Veteris: for example, an altar from Carvoran is decorated with images of a boar and snake, the boar indicative of hunting or war and the snake healing or death.
