This god's temple was situated at Conderecum (Benwell) on Hadrian's Wall. Two altars dedicated to the god were found, along with a statue, (only the head of which survives, shown above).

In the inscription the god is invoked as Antenociticus and Anociticus. The same god, known as Antocidicus, is also invoked at Cilurnum (Chesters).

The inscriptions to Antenociticus at Conderecum are as follows: DEO ANTENOCITICO ET NVMINB AVGVSTOR AEL VIBIVS > LEG XX V V VSLM (To the god Antenociticus and the Divine Spirit of the Emperor, Aelius Vibius, centurion of the Twentieth Legion Valiant and Victorious, willingly and deservedly fulfils a vow.); DEO ANTENOCITICO SACRVM COH I VANGION QVIB PRAE EST ...C CASSIANVS PRAEF VSLM (To the holy god Antenociticus, the First Cohort of Vangiones, under the command of the prefect Gaius Cassianus, willingly and deservedly fulfil their vow.), and DEO ANOCITICO IVDICIIS OPTIMORVM MAXIMORVM QVE IMP N SVB VLP MARCELLO COS TINEIVS LONGVS IN PREFECTVRA EQVITVM LATO CLAVO EXORNATVS ET Q D (For the god Antenociticus. By the decrees of the best and greatest of our Antenociticus, who enjoy dedications from all the legions stationed in Britain and from senior officers of the auxiliary unit's emperors, under [the administration of] the consular Ulpius Marcellus, while serving as prefect of cavalry, Tineius Longus was adorned with the broad stripe [of a senator] and appointed to the post of Quaestor).

It should be noted that whilst most local deities associated with legionary garrisons or encampments were worshipped by the common soldier (ie from the local population) Antenociticus is an exception as he enjoys dedications from all the legions stationed in Britain and from senior officers of the auxiliary units. The head of Antenociticus has hair swept in a form that resembles the antlers of a young stag and he may belong to a cult of the horned gods, which is reminiscent of Greek hero cults, and may have been the Romano-Celtic soldier's answer to the eastern mystery rites, whose worshippers tended either to be fully Romanized or to belong to oriental units. This association of Antenociticus with the legions has led to the speculation that he might have been a warrior deity or a deity of metal working.

The name of this deity has thus-far defied interpretation. However, the first syllable is obviously related the the reconstructed proto-Celtic form *antono- forehead and the final syllable us/cus stands for 'god' which only leaves us with the middle syllable siti/sitic without interpretation. Now, Antenociticus' most obvious feature is the way his hair forms a pair of antlers upon his forehead and siti may be related to the middle Cymric form sider (fringe). Thus the name could stand for: 'God of he antler-fringed forehead'. Though the etymology is speculative at best, it does seem to make a certain amount of sense.
