Camulus

In the ancient Celtic pantheon, Camulus or Camulos was a theonym for a god whom the Romans equated with Mars by interpretatio romana. He was an important god of early Britain and Gaul, especially among the Belgae and the Remi, a Gaulish tribe who lived in the area of modern northern France, around Reims.

Camulus is named in combination with Mars in inscriptions coming from Reims,Arlon,Kruishoutem, Rindern,Mainz, Bar Hill Fort near the Antonine Wall,Sarmizegetusa and Southwark, London

At Rindern, Germany, Mars Camulos appears on a stone with a corona of oak. Elsewhere he was portrayed with a ram-horned head. Evidence of his popularity can be seen in several place-names notably Camulodunum. Attempts to link him with the nursery character Old King Cole and Fionn's father Cumhall have been rejected by contemporary scholars.

The town Camulodunum (now Colchester) in Essex may have been named after him, and is the possible basis for the legendary city Camelot. Camulodunum is a latinised form of the Celtic Camulodūnon, from the words Camulos and dūnon meaning fort, stronghold, a reference to the town's extensive Iron Age earthwork defences.

Goa'uld characters in Stargate

This is a list of the Goa'uld characters that appear in Stargate, Stargate SG-1, and Stargate Atlantis. In the Stargate fictional universe, the Goa'uld are a parasitic alien race that use other beings as hosts. Ra had stated in the original Stargate film that he had used humans exclusively as hosts for millennia, because Goa'uld technology can repair human bodies so easily that by inhabiting human forms they can be in effect ageless, though they can still be injured or killed. Most Goa'uld pose as gods in order to control slave armies, and are considered evil, egocentric megalomaniacs by those who do not worship them. The Goa'uld are extremely intelligent and have an aptitude for understanding, working with, and using technology that is superior to that of humans. They each have full access to their species' genetic memory from the moment of birth. As a result, no Goa'uld has to learn how to operate any technological device; they 'know' how to do so innately.
