Vinotonus is a god from Celtic mythology of which little is known.[1] Only four altars dedicated to Vinotonus have been found all of which are located near the Roman fort at Bowes.[1] The ancient Romans found Vinotonus to be equivalent to Silvanus, the god of agriculture, and that he was a wilderness god.[1] It was common for the Romans to assign the names of popular Roman gods to local Celtic deities as Silvanus was also equated with the Celtic god Cocidius.[1]
