Cernunnos was the Horned One, because he worn antlers of the stag on his head. He was often called the "Lord of the Wild Things".
He was clearly a god of nature, and probably of fertility of animals and agriculture. Cernunnos was also god of grains and fruits.
Cernunnos was equated with another god with stag-like antlers on his head, Belatucadnos, a British god of war. The Romans associated Cernunnos with their god Mercury (Hermes), though Julius Caesar associated him with Dis Pater, cthlonic god of the underworld. The early Christians associated Cernunnos as the Devil or Anti-Christ, because of pagan ritual.
The worship of Cernunnos can be found in the France, Alps, Italy, and in Britain. The most famous depiction of Cerrunnos can be found on the Gundestrup Cauldron (c. 1st century BC).
