As
one of the scholars involved in the archaeological works developed in As
Burgas, Prof. Gonzalez Rodríguez introduce us to this indigenous god known as
Revve Anabaraego. Because of the quantity and quality of the discoveries
related to this deity, it has become a key element to understand the cults of
water in the north of Hispania in Roman times, and how they contribute to civic
and social construction. The cult of Revve appears in Ourense in the context of
As Burgas hot springs, where remains of a dedicated shrine-pool have been
discovered together with several votive altars whose inscriptions revealed this
place as a destination of pilgrimages.
