| ENT_ROM_MERCURY_HELIOPOLITANUS | PER_ROM_IMPERIAL | high | Third member of the Heliopolitan triad of Baalbek, a youthful god (often read as the divine son of the triad) assimilated to Mercury. Underlying figure is a local Syrian youth-god. Attested epigraphically alongside Jupiter and Venus Heliopolitanus at Baalbek and in scattered dedications; the least independently documented of the triad. Treated within the Heliopolitan cult by Beard/North/Price. | SRC_BEARD_ROMAN_RELIGIONS | reviewed |
