If you look at Taranis the thunder-god with the eight-spokes of his
time-wheel (?) and compared with the Gallic Cernunnos who is covered
with a serpent (Kundalini perhaps?), then relate that to the cognate
of Mars it is astounding. No?

Also in relation to the Druids whose deity was Cernunnos were
thought to a symptom of a higher civilisation in decline…. The
Romans apparently had no used of the Druids either.

Sir G. L. Gomme clings to the belief that the Aryans were people of
a comparatively high civilisation, who had discarded, if they ever
possessed, a savage "past."

Apples of the Sun (the Stone or Lapis). This is the Herculean
mythical background of Rome as lighthouse of the West, involving the
famous duel between the twin, Romulus and Remus: the solar eagles
overcame the lunar vultures and the wolf of Mars eclipsed the mother
she-wolf.

were also close to them, but the Roman severity considered too
intellectual the Greek images, perhaps a part from the Stoic ones.
