Roman God Jupiter

Roman God Jupiter

In this gallery are six special images of the Roman God Jupiter from the text The Costume of the Ancient. It was written in 1875 by Thomas Hope. Jupiter, the king of Roman gods, reigned supreme in the sky and thundered his power with lightning bolts. He wasn’t just a fierce storm god, though. Jupiter Optimus Maximus, meaning “best and greatest,” protected Rome, ensured good omens, and upheld justice. Romans believed their city’s success stemmed from Jupiter’s favor, and they built grand temples to honor him. If you’re finding these illustrations of the Jupiter intriguing, I encourage to to also visit the pages with more Roman Deities and other Roman Gods and Goddesses. Enjoy!
