Attestation for Ambisagrus comes from the Gallo‑Roman religious milieu: he is recorded as a Gaulish god worshipped at Aquileia in Cisalpine Gaul and, in that context, was identified with the Roman chief sky god Jupiter Optimus Maximus. This placement reflects the common Roman practice of interpretatio, whereby local deities were equated with Roman counterparts; no indigenous origin myths or narratives for Ambisagrus are recorded in the supplied sources.
No physical description, iconography, or attributes for Ambisagrus are documented in the provided materials. The sources do not record statues, visual markers, or artistic representations attributable to this theonym.
The supplied sources do not record independent deeds, powers, or mythic actions for Ambisagrus. The only attested behavioral datum is cultic: he was worshipped at Aquileia and identified with Jupiter Optimus Maximus in the Roman interpretative framework. An etymological proposal (tentative) reconstructs the name as possibly composed of Proto‑Celtic *ambi‑ ('around') and *sagro‑, but this linguistic suggestion is not accompanied by specific claims about supernatural abilities in the sources.

Acionna
Acionna is a local Gallo-Roman water goddess attested by a single votive inscription found at a spring in the Orléanais region. The inscription, discovered by Jollois in 1822 and datable by style to the 2nd century CE, dedicates a portico and ornaments "AUG(ustae) ACIONNAE" and was recovered from the Fontaine de l'Étuvée in Orléans; archaeological work in 2007 uncovered remains of a Gallo-Roman temple and a section of an aqueduct at the site.
Arduinna
Arduinna is a local Gallo-Roman tutelary goddess of the Ardennes (Arduenna) — a divine personification of wooded heights — attested in two inscriptions and later equated with the Roman Diana. Iconography associating her with a boar-riding huntress exists in modern literature but the identification is uncertain.
Icaunis
Icaunis (Dea Icaunis) is the localized Gallo‑Roman goddess of the river Yonne (ancient Icauna), known from a single inscription found at Auxerre in Burgundy. She exemplifies the widespread Roman‑era practice in Gaul of venerating rivers and other natural features as female divine figures.
Loucetios
Gallic god associated with Mars, lightning, and war; worshipped in the Rhine-Moselle region. (Note: 1. Power tier: Primordial is unlikely, given the lack of information about his abilities or behaviors; a more plausible tier would be Greater (powerful regional). 2. Abilities: No direct information a)
Ritona
Ritona (also attested as Pritona) is a named local goddess of Roman‑period Gaul, chiefly attested among the Treveri of the Moselle valley.

Described in 1999, it has been central to debates about the early evolution and homology of tribosphenic-like molar architecture.
Ambrose of Alexandria
Ambrose of Alexandria (before 212 – c. 250) was a wealthy, educated layman of Alexandria who became a close disciple, patron, and ordained deacon in the circle of the theologian Origen. He is remembered in Christian sources as a convert from earlier heterodox affiliations, a supporter who provided books and scribes, a stimulus to Origen's writings, and a confessor who suffered persecution under Maximinus Thrax.
Ambrosia (Hyades)
Ambrosia is named in classical sources as one of the Hyades, a small group of nurse-nymphs who tended the infant Dionysus/Liber and who are variously said to have been transformed into a vine (in one revenge motif) or placed among the Hyades stars. Her story is preserved in mythographic accounts (notably Hyginus citing Pherecydes) and later summaries.
