Abstract

Many inscriptions regarding the indigenous deities of Extremadura are of an uncertain interpretation, not offering the name of the god but its epithet. A selection of the information that takes into account these facts bring us nearer to the religious pantheon native to the region. From this, the important similarities between the area north of the River Tajo and the Portuguese Beira Baixa can be observed. From the south of Extremadura there appears a collection of different deities names with a strong presence of Goddesses.
