GreaterfringeCeltic paganismLoiret (Neuvy-En-Sullias), Gaul (modern France)
Origin

No mythological origin or narrative is preserved in the surviving material. The only attestation is a votive inscription on a bronze horse figurine; beyond this archaeological context no origin story or genealogy is recorded.

Appearance

No anthropomorphic representation of Rudiobus is preserved. The name appears on a bronze figurine of a prancing horse about one metre high, part of a hoard found at Neuvy-En-Sullias and dated to the 1st century BC. The figurine's inscription describes the object as sacred to the god Rudiobus.

Abilities

The sources provide no direct statements of abilities, powers, or behaviors. A scholarly suggestion—presented as a hypothesis—is that Rudiobus may be an aspect of the Gaulish version of Mars, which would imply martial or protective associations if accepted; this identification is not established by the primary evidence.
