Un testimonio del dios «Labbo» en una inscripción lusitana de Plasencia, Cáceres. ¿«Labbo» también en Cabeço das Fráguas?

Abstract

The identity of Labbo has been defended as a local divinity, whose worship was restricted to the territory of Cabeco das Fraguas, the location of the only inscription documenting the name (variously read as Laebo or Labbo) that had been identified so far. We present here a votive altar from Plasencia that demonstrates with total certainty the existence of this Lusitanian divinity and the extension of its cult towards more eastern areas of the Lusitanian territory. Its integration into a triad of deities leads us to compare both texts and to consider two series of names in Cabeco das Fraguas: six of animals, on the one hand, and six of divinities, on the other.
