Moritasgus ("Masses of Sea Water") is a Celtic epithet of the sun-god Apollo, at Alesia in Burgundy. His consort was the goddess Damona. A dedication to the gods alludes to the presence of a shrine at the curative spring. This possessed a sacred pool where sick pilgrims could bathe. The sanctuary itself was impressive, with baths and a temple. In addition, there were porticoes, where the sick possibly slept, hoping for divine visions and cures. Numerous votive objects were dedicated to Moritasgus. These were models of the pilgrims and the afflicted parts of their bodies: these included limbs, internal organs, genitals, breasts, and eyes. Surgeons' tools have also been found, suggesting that the priests also acted as surgeons. The words Celt and Celtic can have a variety of meanings. ...
