초록
Silvanus is a relatively unknown deity in the Roman pantheon. Regardless, Silvanus is also one of the most popularly attested gods in the epigraphical material. His connection to forests seems to be self-evident, beginning from the name that refers to woods, but the actual cult of Silvanus was more complicated. Who was Silvanus and what was his role in the Roman religious life? Was he a de facto god of woods and forests, or did his cult have a more complicated function in Roman folk religion? In this paper I inspect the cult of Silvanus in relation to nature. Through comparing three different physical Silvanus cult environments with known written sources, it is possible to gather insights on the role of Silvanus in ancient Roman life. Silvanus is also well attested in provinces outside Italy, but those are left outside this paper.
