Alcis (gods)
Alcis were a pair of young male brothers worshipped by the Naharvali, a tribe of ancient Germanic peoples.Overview
According to Tacitus the Alcis were a deity of the Naharvali.
Tacitus states that the worship of Alcis by the Naharvali took place in a sacred grove, with a priest dressed in woman's clothing presiding - the god were given the name Alcis, and venerated as young men and brothers, but no images of the gods were used. A similarity with Castor and Pollux is noted by Tacitus - though he states the cult was indigenous, not derived from an outside influence.
