XIV. Remarks on Belatucader. By the Rev. Mr. Pegge
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
Something was said in the Essay on the Coins of Cunobelin, p. 15, on Belatucadrus, a deity either of the Romanized Britons, or of the Romans resident in Britain; and it was there asserted, he was the same with Mars, being esteemed a local name of this deity. Since then, an inscription, accompanied with a memoir, has been produced by my late most respectable friend Bishop Lyttelton; in which paper his Lordship, concurring with the late Prosessor Ward, reckons him to be a local deity, as do most others, but with a reference to Apollo, who was worshiped, as they observe, by the Druids. And herein they have on their side, Sammes, Selden, Hearne, Montsaucon, and the authors of the Universal History. Notwithstanding the weight of all this authority; I see no reason to depart from my former assertion and hope I may stand acquitted by the candid, if, in justification thereof, I here resume the further consideration of the subject.
