Teutanus
deity earth Roman single tradition · 1
Teutanus is an epithet or deity attested in votive altars dedicated to "Jupiter Optimus Maximus Teutanus" found in the Danube Valley, with as many as 16 found in Gellért Hill alone. The word seems to mean "protector of the tribe". Teutanus appears to be linguistically and functionally closely related to Teutates, and may represent a local syncretization.
