Which Roman god was the god of the wild, shepherds, and flocks? Faunus was the Roman god of wild countryside, forests, shepherds, and flocks.
Faunus belonged to the ancient Roman di indigetes, the native deities worshipped before the growing influence of Greek mythology. He was associated with forests, plains, fields, agriculture, and cattle fertility. In his fertility aspect he could be called Inuus, a related name connected with the increase of livestock.
Romans celebrated two Faunalia festivals: one on February 13 at his temple on the Tiber Island and another on December 5, when rural communities made rustic offerings and celebrated with dancing. Faunus was also linked with prophecy; traditions said that people could receive his messages through dreams or voices while sleeping in a sacred precinct.
As Roman religion became increasingly Hellenized, Faunus was identified with the Greek pastoral god Pan. This connection influenced later artwork, which often gave Faunus horns and goatlike features. Pan is therefore a Greek equivalent or counterpart, not the most precise answer to a question asking for a Roman god.
