Schadrapa

Shadrapa was a Phoenician - Punic healing god. He is represented as a youthful figure with a snake or a scorpion. In addition to the Phoenician motherland ( stele of Amrit ), his veneration is also attested in Palmyra and North Africa, for example in Carthage or Leptis Magna , where he is identified in a Punic-Latin bilingualism with the Roman god Liber . He was also worshiped as a satrapas in some coastal areas of Greece .
