The god Mars Tileno

Historical milestone · Lucillo, La Cabrera, León

Image of Lucillo, not of the place itself.

In Roman times, Rome assimilated the native deity of Monte Teleno, in Lucillo, to its own god Mars in his agrarian aspect: the Leonese inscriptions dedicated to Marti Tileno are one of the best-documented examples of religious syncretism in the northwest.
