Lenus

Lenus () was a Celtic god of healing, good fortune, and protection in battle, worshipped mainly in eastern Gaul, where he was almost always identified with the Roman god Mars.

== Name == The Gaulish theonym Lenos has been derived from a stem lēno-, which could mean 'wood, bocage' (cf. Welsh llwyn 'bush, grave, shrub'). His name most often appears in inscriptions as "Lenus Mars", rather than "Mars Lenus" as would be expected from other most syncretized names. His name also occasionally appears as "Mars Laenus". While the bulk of religious inscriptions to Lenus Mars are in Latin, there is one Latin-Greek bilingual inscription that identifies the god as "Lēnos ... Arēs" in the Greek version.
