3 unusual facts about Caturix


Caturix

The capital of the Caturiges was called Eburodunum (modern Embrun), i.e. the same name as that of Yverdon, suggesting a close relationship between the Caturiges and the Helvetii.

There was a temple dedicated to Mars Caturix in Aventicum, the capital of Roman Helvetia, another one in Nonfoux, Essertines-sur-Yverdon

The Gallic tribe of the Caturiges, settling in the area of modern Chorges (< *Caturigumagus) was apparently named after the god.
