Editing Condatis (section)

==Archaeological evidence==

===British Isles===
Roman altars with inscriptions to ''Mars Condates'' have been found in the [[River Tees|Tees]] and [[River Wear|Wear]] valleys of [[County Durham]].
{{efn|name="MacKillop_Intro"}} Altars are normally found at the [[confluence]] of rivers – for example, the [[Cong Burn]]–Wear confluence near Chester-le-Street – however others may have been disturbed or removed, especially by [[antiquarian]]s and collectors.

The inscription ''Mars Condates'' is a [[wikt:conflation#English|conflation]] (joining) of deities:{{efn|Neil Oliver – ''Ancient Britain''...<br>
..."Twinning of gods and goddesses was a tactic the Romans employed all across the Empire ...{{sfn|Oliver|2012|p=347}} }}
# Roman god [[Mars (mythology)|Mars]] – god of war and father of Romulus, the founder of Rome.
# [[Gaul|Gaulish]] [[deity]] '''Condatis''' – god of river confluences.
