Abstract
The following article proposes the critical revision of the terracotta arula found in the excavations of the Alicante locality of Els Poblets in 1986 and consecrated by a certain Festivos to the Lares Viales. We will analyse the morphological, palaeographic and prosopographic particularities of the piece, and then focus our attention on the formula ex somnio, which directly alludes to the world of divination through dreams, a common practice in Antiquity that had its particularities in the Iberian Peninsula itself.
