Name

The origin of the name Albiorix is based on connection with the deity Mars, [1] [2] and as such the cult of this deity was known in the Haute-Provence and in the Alps. [3]

Scholars disagree with this being an individual deity or one that has been connected with Mars through syncretism and interpretatio. [4] [5] [6] [7]

The name of one of the moons of Saturn was named after this deity. [8]
