Images of the male sheep appear frequently in ancient Celtic art from as early as La Tène times (4th cent. BC). The reference implied by the ram, especially the ram's head, is not always clear. It may have been merely decorative, or it may have carried implications of fertility, as the ram (along with the goat) had been linked to Mercury in classical imagery. Romano-Celtic representations of rams with Mercury are found widely in what is now France and Great Britain. Images of rams with northern British war-gods imply sexual energy and aggression. Ram-horned heads appear in the worship of Camulos. Ram-horned serpents, combining perhaps fertility and sexual aggression with regeneration, appear frequently and widely. In a later Fenian allegory, Fionn sees a ram representing the whole world. See also POOKA. Irish reithe; Scottish Gaelic reithe, rùd; Manx rea; Welsh maharen, hwrdd; Cornish horth; Breton tourz.

Male, entire sheep which has attained sexual maturity at about the age of 6 months.
