Description	Gilbert - It has been described as both the Roman Jupiter and as an unnamed Celtic deity and it is obvious that both the Roman and Celtic elements are present in it's working. The type is a purely classical one, although the strong native elements are clear in the style, the curls of the beard and hair. She goes on suggest it could be Gaulish, the lack of torc might make it less likely to be a Celtic deity although other features are Celtic
