Toutatis or Teutates was a
Celtic god worshipped in ancient
Gaul and
Britain. On the basis of his name's etymology, he has been widely interpreted to be a tribal protector. Today, he is best known under the name Toutatis (pronounced ) through the
Gaulish catchphrase "By Toutatis!", invented for the
Asterix comics by Goscinni and Uderzo. The spelling Toutatis, however, is authentic and attested by about ten ancient inscriptions. He is also known (under the spelling Teutates) from a passage in
Lucan.
