Celtic Gods: Ambisagrus

Got this from Wikipedia. Thanks.

In Gallo-Roman religion, Ambisagrus was a Gaulish god worshipped at Aquileia in Cisalpine Gaul, where he was identified with Jupiter Optimus Maximus.[1]
The name may be composed of the Proto-Celtic prefix *ambi- ('around') and root *sagro-.[2]
John T. Koch has suggested that this Jovian epithet may originally have applied to Taranis, with allusion to the tendency of thunder near an observer to seem all-surrounding
