PLATE XXIV
Boars
The boar appears as a worshipful animal on Gaulish coins (see Plate III, 1, 3, 6), and there was a Gallic boar-deity, Moccus (p. 124). It also plays a róle in Irish saga (pp. 124–27, 172) and in the Welsh story of the Twrch Trwyth (or Porcus Troit) (pp. 108, 125, 187–88). Bronze figures found at Hounslow, Middlesex.
