✦ About
Jupiter is the supreme deity of the Roman pantheon, equivalent to the Greek Zeus but with distinct Roman characteristics. As the god of sky and thunder, he wielded the lightning bolt as his weapon and symbol of absolute divine authority.
The Romans considered Jupiter the protector of the state, laws, and social order. His temple on Capitoline Hill was the most important in Rome, where victorious generals would offer thanks and where the most sacred oaths were sworn.
Jupiter Optimus Maximus—"Jupiter Best and Greatest"—was the central figure of Roman state religion, embodying Roman virtues of justice, faithfulness, and the glory of Rome itself.
