Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In Romano-British religion, Cocidius was a deity worshipped in northern Britain. The Romans equated him with Mars, god of war and hunting and with Sylvanus, god of forests, groves and wild fields. Like Belatu-Cadros, he was probably worshipped by lower-ranked Roman soldiers as well as Britons. Rivet and Smith, the authors of Place Names of Roman Britain, note that the name may be related to British Celtic cocco-, 'red', suggesting that statues of the god might have been painted red. However, this could simply be a Latinised version of Old Welsh coit, "woods" or "forest", making it a translation of Sylvanus, whose name also literally means god of the woods.
