@civilwarbore It's less of a sea monster and more like a weird merman, though. Possibly it's linked to a Frankish sea god.
@civilwarbore yeah it was pretty weird to say the least. although, the human sacrifice thing is a common theme among others too.

@civilwarbore the Romans disapproved of course but that's also why they were distrustful of Christianity...the whole communion thing.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@AdmiralHip the human sacrifice in Celtic society contrasts weirdly with the pragmatism of their animal sacrifices. -
@civilwarbore yes, I agree. The Romans convinced themselves the animals were willing (they were drugged). Bog sacrifices seemed less so.

@AdmiralHip animal sacrifices tended to be animals past their use, or just one joint. But big bodies are often young, strong people. -
@civilwarbore as far as I know, the Romans and Greeks would sometimes use young animals. Purity thing I think. - Show replies
