Reve

A sky god of the Lusitanian and Gallaecian peoples of the western Iberian Peninsula, attested on votive inscriptions across the region under a range of local epithets, among them Reve Anabaraeco, an epithet linked to river sources, and Reve Reumiraego. Several inscriptions pair him with wording close to the Latin deo maximo, greatest god, suggesting worshippers already read him as the chief figure of the pantheon before any Roman equation was made, and he appears by name, alongside Trebaruna and other native deities, in the Cabeco das Fraguas sacrifice inscription, one of the longest surviving texts in the extinct Lusitanian language. As with the region's other deities, no narrative myth about Reve survives; the record is entirely epigraphic.
