車輪、特に6本または8本の輻を持つ戦車の車輪は、歴史的なケルトの多神教において重要な象徴であり、車輪神として知られる特定の神と関連していたようだ。その名は空、太陽、または雷神として確認されており、ルカヌスはタラニスと記している。車輪、特に6本または8本の輻を持つ戦車の車輪は、歴史的なケルトの多神教において重要な象徴であり、車輪神として知られる特定の神と関連していたようだ。その名は空、太陽、または雷神として確認されており、ルカヌスはタラニスと記している<ref>https://books.google.com/books?id=km66Nu4d-34C&dq=Celtic+wheels&pg=RA1-PA117, Symbol and Image in Celtic Religious Art, isbn:9780415080767, Green Miranda, 1992</ref>。ケルトの硬貨にもこのような車輪が多数描かれている。

==Association with the wheel==
The wheel, more specifically the [[chariot]] wheel with six or eight [[spoke]]s, was an important symbol in historical [[Celtic polytheism]], apparently associated with a specific god, known as the wheel-god, identified as the sky- sun- or thunder-god, whose name is attested as Taranis by [[Lucan]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=km66Nu4d-34C&dq=Celtic+wheels&pg=RA1-PA117|title=Symbol and Image in Celtic Religious Art|isbn=9780415080767|last1=Green|first1=Miranda|year=1992}}</ref> Numerous Celtic coins also depict such a wheel. The half-wheel shown in the Gundestrup cauldron [[Gundestrup cauldron#Plate C: Broken Wheel|"broken wheel" panel]] also has eight visible spokes.{{Citation needed|date=November 2019}}
Symbolic votive wheels were offered at shrines (such as in [[Alesia (city)|Alesia]]), cast in rivers (such as the [[Seine]]), buried in tombs or worn as [[amulets]] since the [[Middle Bronze Age]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DRbTkaHJpJcC&dq=Celtic+wheels&pg=PA45|title=Celtic Myths|isbn=9780292727540|last1=Green|first1=Miranda Jane|year=1993}}</ref> Such "wheel pendants" from the Bronze Age usually had four spokes, and are commonly identified as solar symbols or "[[sun cross|sun crosses]]". Artefacts parallel to the Celtic votive wheels or wheel-pendants are the so-called ''[[Zierscheibe]]n'' in a Germanic context. The identification of the Sun with a wheel, or a chariot, has parallels in Germanic, Greek and Vedic mythology (see [[sun chariot]]).{{Citation needed|date=November 2019}}
