 At times the Gaulish “Mercury" may have the characteristic of a warrior, while the Gaulish “Mars" may act as a god of protection or healing.Paul-Marie Duval argues that each tribe had its own "toutatis"; he further considers the Gaulish Mars the product of syncretism with the Celtic "toutates", noting the great number of indigenous epithets under which Mars was worshipped.A large number of Romano-British finger rings inscribed with the name "TOT", thought to refer to Toutatis, have been found in eastern Britain, the vast majority in Lincolnshire, but some in Bedfordshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire.
