Mention has already been made of Segomo Cuntinus connected with Conte; there was also a Mars Vintius, who was worshipped at Vence, near Nice, and who gave the former place its name: this is proved by an inscription found on the spot, mentioning Marti Vintio. Vintius, in Gaulish Vintjos, must have meant 'relating to the wind,' as it is of the same origin as the English word, the Welsh gwynt, Latin ventus; but, more exactly, Vintjos is an adjective from ventos, which was probably the Gaulish word for wind, and from Ventjos was produced by a modulation of the vowel the attested form. It is remarkable that the Welsh gwynt, wind, is the exact
