Vergobretus is evidently the Latin form of Fear-go-breith, “the Man of law,” the Breithimh, Brehon, or Breen; the Celtic judge, Toshach, is derived from the same root as the Latin Dux; the Thessalian Τάγος and the German Toga bear the same meaning. It is the title that appears on several of the early British coins under the Latin form of Tascio.
