Abstract
By shedding more light over the votive altars erected by Marcus Herennius Faustus at Apulum, the aim of this study is to set a clearer picture over the diversity of the pantheons that operated within the provincial religion of Roman Dacia. The study attempts to identify the personal pantheon of Marcus Herennius Faustus as a reflection of the Punico- Lybian triad Baal-Hammon, Baal-Addir, Tanit-Astarte, whose cult the commander of the legion must have adopted during his stay at Lambaesis as a tribunus militum in legio III Augusta. Furthermore, the article tries to unravel the possible motifs that determined Marcus Herennius Faustus to choose these rather unusual and definitely rare epithets for his gods: Saturnus Securus, Mercurius Hilaris, Minerva Supera.
