Revision as of 23:11, 13 January 2025 by Tenpop421 (talk | contribs) (Created article)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Erriapus` (also Eriapus) was a tutelary deity, worshipped in southern Gaul. One image is known of him, a stone altar of the 2nd century CE found in Saint-Béat on which he is identified as D(eo) Erriape. In this image, he is depicted naked and with a club. His iconography shows the influence of the Roman god Silvanus. Several inscriptions to the god are known. There was an important cult site to him at Saint-Béat (Haute-Garonne). He is either the protective deity of the Montagne d'Arrie (in Saint-Béat), as Daniel Nony and Michel Labrousse suggest, or of a local spring, as Carole Billod suggests.
