Religion of the Gauls: Human sacrifice among the Gauls. In the great public clamites, or before entering a campaign against a formidable enemy, the Druids had introduced the use of human holocausts. A huge mannequin representing a man was built, filled with unfortunate convicts in the assemblies, and if their number was insufficient, victims were chosen from among the unfit men to defend themselves; fuel was piled around this horrible figure and set fire. Engraving from 1835.
