    According to Tacitus, "Thuisco" is a god who sprung from the earth, whose name is based on the concept of the twofold. Thuisco appears as a hermaphrodite deity who still combines the male (producing) and female (receiving) powers.

    The "Thuscio" stone is an unworked quartzite with a wide, regular groove.
    According to von Schlieffen, the word “consecrated” was originally carved on a stone. This inscription is no longer legible today.
