The rain is " May-produced" like milk ,butter, lambs, deer and so on. Scotland's storms are in winter and of no great benefit to Scots .
" Scot Gaelic : bealtuinn May-day, Irish béalteine, Early Irish beltene, belltaine,."
The fixed day 1st May is Beltane. So : "bright"-"fixed" "rain"-"producing".
The taine fire and tuinn fixed are optional additives to Bel.
Beltane is still observed today and and the word bailc would have traditional significance if attached to Bel at any point in history.

"Carthage also .. early Christianity. Tertullian rhetorically addressed the Roman governor with the fact that the Christians of Carthage that just yesterday were few in number, now "have filled every place among you —., senate, forum; we have left nothing to you but the temples of your gods." (Apologeticus written at Carthage, c. 197).
"Spanish Canons of the Synod of Elvira (circa 305 AD) indicate that the church was greatly isolated from the general population even at that time. The situation of the Christians in Iberia improved with the advent of the Edict of Milan in 313 AD, after which Christians were more or less free to practice their religion openly within the Roman Empire.

" The Drachma coins minted in Massalia were found in all parts of Ligurian-Celtic Gaul. Traders from Massalia ventured into France on the Rivers Durance and Rhône, and established overland trade routes to Switzerland and Burgundy, and as far north as the Baltic Sea. Pytheas hoped to establish a sea trading route for tin from Cornwall, his trip was not a commercial success, and it was not repeated. The Massalians found it cheaper and simpler to trade with Northern Europe over land routes."

Opportunists in the piracy business likely had various operations. Maybe they bought products in Gauls' ports, got employment in the off-season on Seine river tin barges or hijacked a cargo ship to take home to the family on Friday. Sailors share a sea culture and no passports were needed between Norway and ....south India?
The inscription by a north African at Hadrian's Wall about a Syrian goddess and the Roman mish-mash of ethnic troops probably made it hard to avoid hearing about such things as Baal.

"Almost 800 of these coins were minted during the reign of Carausius, which lasted from around AD286 until AD293 . . After his crushing of revolt in north-eastern Gaul. .the newly reconstituted Classis Britannica – the British fleet – the Senate commissioned Carausius to patrol the waters of northern Europe for buccaneers, mostly from Baltic and Scandinavian regions.
