Hermes Britannicus - William Lisle Bowles - Bog

Hermes Britannicus is a dissertation written by William Lisle Bowles that explores the Celtic deity Teutates and his possible connection to the Roman god Mercury, also known as Mercurius in Caesar's writings. The book provides evidence and analysis to support the theory that the Great Temple at Abury, a prehistoric monument in England, was dedicated to Teutates/Mercury. Bowles draws on historical and archaeological sources to piece together the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Celts and their possible influence on later Roman culture. The book is a thorough and scholarly examination of a fascinating topic that sheds light on the intersection of different cultures and religions in ancient Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
