Erriapus (deity)


Erriapus was a tutelary deity worshipped in southern Gaul.
Several inscriptions to the god are known. There was an important cult site to him at Saint-Béat.
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 Erriape. In this image, he is depicted naked and with a club. His iconography shows the influence of the Roman god Silvanus.
He may be the protective deity of the Montagne d'Arrie in Saint-Béat or of a local spring.
