In
Gallo-Roman religion,
Segomo ("victor, mighty one") was a war god worshipped in
Gaul. In
Roman times he was equated with
Mars and
Hercules. He may be related to
Cocidius, a similar god worshipped in Britain. He is commonly associated with the eagle or hawk. The name of the legendary
High King of Ireland Nia Segamain, which translates as "sister's son or champion of Segamon", may be related.
