sentences:  According to Tacitus, the Nemetes were "unquestionably Germanic".The name of the tribe, however, is Celtic as the name of its main town "Noviomagus" meaning "noviios" 'new' and "magos" 'plain', 'market' (cf.Welsh "maes" 'field', Old Irish "mag" 'plain'), as are those of several gods worshipped in their territory, including Nemetona, who is thought to have been their eponymous deity.
