Silvanus  patron god of shepherds.
 
Silvanus was the Roman god of the woodland and agriculture. Originally Silvanus' duties were confined to the woods and forests. Later, Silvanus began to have extra attributes and became the god of farming and pasture, and probably of flocks and herds. Silvanus was seen as the patron god of shepherds.

Silvanus was the Roman counterpart of Silenus, the satyr-like, woodland spirit. Silvanus would later inherit some of Silenus' attributes, such as goat's horns and legs.
