I ndiaidh concas na Rómhánach,
Is é ''locus classicus'' do dhéithe na gCeilteach san [[an Ghaill|Ghaill]] ná an sliocht in ''[[Commentarii de Bello Gallico]]'' (52–51 BC) le [[Julius Caesar]], ina a thugann sé seisear acu, i dteannta lena gcuid feidhmeanna. Deir sé gurbh é [[Mearcair|Mercury]] an dia is tábhachtaí, cumadóir na n-ealaíon, patrún taistealaithe, ceannaithe agus tráchtála. D'adhrtaí na Gallaigh ansin [[Apalló (dia)]], dia an leighis; [[Mars]], dia an chogaidh; [[Iúpatar]], dia na bhflaitheas; agus [[Minerva]], bandia lámhcheirdeanna. Deir sé fosta gur mheas na Gallaigh fúthu é [[Dis Pater]] a sinsear.<ref>[[Julius Caesar]], ''[[Commentarii de Bello Gallico]]'' [https://archive.today/20120714093800/http://perseus.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/cgi-bin/ptext?lookup=Caes.+Gal.+6.17 6:17-18]</ref>
Mar ba [[interpretatio Romana|nós]] leis na Rómhánaigh, ní luann Caesar na déithe úd leis a n-ainmneacha dúchais, agus dá bharr is deacair é iad a aithint, ó thaobh ainm is feidhmiúil de, le déithe na nGallach agus Cheiltigh na nOileán ar aon. In ainneoin sin, is foinse tábhachtach é a liosta beag.
'' The gods named by Caesar are well-attested in the later epigraphic record of Gaul and Britain. Not infrequently, their names are coupled with native Celtic theonyms and epithets, such as Mercury [[Visucius]], [[Lenus]] Mars, Jupiter [[Poeninus]], or [[Sulis]] Minerva. Unsyncretised theonyms are also widespread, particularly among goddesses such as [[Sulevia]], [[Sirona]], [[Rosmerta]], and [[Epona]]. In all, several hundred names containing a Celtic element are attested in Gaul. The majority occur only once, which has led some scholars to conclude that the Celtic gods and their cults were local and tribal rather than national. Supporters of this view cite [[Lucan (poet)|Lucan]]'s mention of a god called [[Teutates]], which they interpret as "god of the tribe" (it is thought that ''teuta-'' meant "tribe" in Celtic).<ref name="Duval">Paul-Marie Duval, ''Les dieux de la Gaule'', Éditions Payot, Paris, 1993. {{ISBN|2-228-88621-1}}</ref> The multiplicity of deity names may also be explained otherwise – many, for example, may be simply epithets applied to major deities by widely extended cults.
