context_page_description: Vosegus was a name used in the Roman Empire for a Celtic god of hunting and forestation. On rare known artefacts Vosegus is shown with a bow and shield, accompanied by a dog. The centre of area where Vosegus was worshiped was around the Donon. On top of a hill there was a temple dedicated to Vosegus. The name is derived from the Proto-Celtic *uɸo- and *segos.
  Later in Gallo-Roman religion, Vosegus was the patron god of the Vosges in eastern Gaul. His name is attested in about five inscriptions from western Germany and eastern France, twice in the form Vosego Silv and once as Merc Vos.
