Interpretatio Romana: Empire, Syncretism, and the Sacred Gods of Gaul explores the meeting point between Rome and the Celtic world, where conquest, translation, and sacred memory reshaped the divine landscape of ancient Gaul.

Beginning with Julius Caesar's account in The Gallic War, this volume examines how Roman observers identified unfamiliar Gallic deities through the names of Mercury, Apollo, Mars, Jupiter, and Minerva. These comparisons helped Rome describe conquered peoples, but they also obscured local identities, functions, and traditions.
