Comparisons To Other Cultures
Almost all of the knowledge about Ogmios comes from the comparisons of him to other deities or divine heroes of different ancient cultures. By about 51 B.C. the Roman Empire had conquered Gaul.

Their deity, Ogma, has many similarities to Ogmios, which could mean that they were once the same deity.
