"Esus" is mentioned as being encountered in southern Gaul by Caesar's troops in the above-mentioned Pharsalia, and the Pillar of the Boatmen is put up between 14 and 37 AD (exact date determined by the inscription).
Esus (3051 words)
Esus appears in the guise of a muscular woodcutter on a relief dedicated to Jupiter c.AD 14-37, rediscovered in 1711 under the choir of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.
