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, preserved in the hagiography of a Saint Marcel de Chalon, martyred in 177 or 179. According to L. Armand-Calliat, the cult of this Bacon was inherited by a Saint Anthony, venerated in the Haute Bourgogne.
