Taranis with Wheel

This silver Gundestrup Cauldron relief panel (2nd–1st cc.) shows a striding figure holding a large spoked wheel amid animals and human heads. The figure is often identified with Taranis, a Celtic thunder god whose name derives from Gaulish taran (thunder). Linked to sky and storm, Taranis parallels Norse Thor, and the wheel here functions as a cosmic attribute connecting divine power with celestial cycles.
