Silvanus and Selvans edit

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It looks to me that the 2 are different deities as Dorcey points out. The only common trait is the protection of field boundaries. The similarity of the names caused some confusion on both sides perhaps. In Ovid the Silvani are presented as dwellers of the woods who strive to achieve the heavenly realm. Selvans is a god that may best be related to Semo Sancus. Sometimes the inscriptions have Silvanus for Sancus or Tec Sans.Aldrasto11 (talk) 12:35, 11 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Curious why the picture of Silvanus states behind it "This is the Roman God Helios(Sol)"? Walther Faunus (talk) 11:05, 11 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

The text behind refers to another adjacent exhibit of the Roman god helios. Theroadislong (talk) 11:58, 11 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Etymology edit

is a derivation from Latin silva ('forest, wood')...

The etymology of silva is unclear.

How is it unclear? 120.29.109.137 (talk) 07:01, 3 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
