[waters meet (?)]. A god worshipped in Roman-occupied Britain, much associated with the confluence of rivers. His shrines have been found between the Tyne and Tees rivers, Northumberland, Cumberland, and Durham, in the north of what is now England. His name is commemorated in many place-names, some as far away as Gaulish Condatis may be equated with Mars.
In Celtic mythology, Condatis ("waters meet") was a deity worshipped primarily in northern Britain but also in Gaul.[1] He was associated with the confluences of rivers, in particular the Tyne and the Tees. In Roman times he was equated with Mars, probably in his healing function.
Condate was also the Celtic name of Rennes, then the city of the Redones and now the capital of the Bretagne region.
