Neto (deity)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Neto or Mars Neto is the name of one of the deities of ancient Iberia, revered by the Lusitanians and Celtiberians. He was probably a god of war.
Name and functions
Macrobius in his Saturnalia, calls Neto both a sun god and equivalent in Hispania to the Roman Mars and Apollo.[1] A name Neito appears on the Celtiberian Botorrita bronze plaque.[2] The name also recalls an Irish war god Neit whose name might be derived from the same Celtic root meaning passion or conflict.
