Abstract
We study in this paper an unpublished piece proceeding from a private collection in Barcelona. The object in question consists in a votive sculpture offered up by a soldier, representing the roman god Silvanus, although the name of this god does not appear named in the Greek inscription situated at the base, where it is indicated that the offering is aimed to Zeus Dalbenos / Dalbenus. This epithet is a hápax. We offer here a reading of the text and we try to respond to the “inconsistencies” existing between the god’s image and the inscribed accompanying text.
