This is a proposal for a systematic and ontological review on the replica, which initial definition was formulated by the philosopher David Kellog Lewis, in the latter 1960. The author doesn't discuss Lewis's conceptions and critics but he meditate in a personal way on the essence of one replica, in real world as far as in possible worlds. This ends by giving a formal translation to the previous assertions: A tentative semantics for a reviewed theory on replica.
