The existence of a pre-Christian Gallic or Gallo-Roman deity named Bacon has been posited based on an inscription in Latin from a monument in Chalon-sur-Saône, in France,[1] preserved in the hagiography of a Saint Marcel de Chalon,[2] martyred in 177 or 179.[3] According to L. Armand-Calliat, the cult of this Bacon was inherited by Saint Anthony the Great, venerated in the Haute Bourgogne on 17 January.[4]
