Symbols of Zeus ( Jupiter ) are the
thunderbolt
,
eagle
,
bull
, and
oak.
In addition to his Indo-European inheritance, the classical “cloud-gatherer”
also derives certain iconographic traits from the cultures of the
Ancient Near East
, such as the
scepter
. Zeus is frequently depicted by Greek
artists in one of two poses: standing, striding forward, with a thunderbolt
leveled in his raised right hand, or seated in majesty.The Jupiter de Smyrne, discovered in Smyrna in 1680[1]

 

In

Roman mythology

,

Jupiter
or

Jove was the

king of the gods

, and the god of

sky and

thunder
. He

is

the equivalent of Zeus

in the

Greek pantheon

. He was called Iuppiter (or Diespiter)

Optimus Maximus (“Father God the Best and Greatest”). As the patron deity of

ancient

Rome
, he ruled over laws and social order. He was the chief god of the

Capitoline Triad

, with sister/wife

Juno

. Jupiter is also the father of the god

Mars

with Juno. Therefore, Jupiter is the grandfather of

Romulus and Remus

, the legendary founders of Rome. Jupiter was venerated in

ancient Roman religion

, and is still venerated in

Roman Neopaganism

. He is a son of

Saturn

, along with brothers

Neptune

and

Pluto

.

He is also the brother/husband of

Ceres

(daughter of Saturn and mother of

Proserpina
),

brother of Veritas

(daughter of Saturn), and father of

Mercury

.

Valerius Licinianus Licinius, Licinius II or Licinius the

Younger (approx. 315-326), was the son of Roman emperor

Licinius
.

He nominally served as

Caesar

in the eastern empire from 317 to 324 A.D while his father was

Augustus

. His mother was Licinius’ wife

Flavia Julia Constantia

, who was also the half-sister of

Constantine I

.

After his defeat by Constantine at the

Battle of Chrysopolis

, Licinius the elder was initially spared and placed in

captivity at

Thessalonica

. However, within a year Constantine seems to have regretted his

leniency and the former Emperor was hanged.

The younger Licinius, who was Constantine’s nephew, also fell victim to the

emperor’s suspicions and was killed, probably in the context of the execution of

Crispus
in

326.

Other reports relate that Licinius the younger was forced into slavery in the

imperial textile factories in Africa, where he is noted in 336. However, the

imperial rescript of 336 makes it clear that the “son of Licinianus” referred to

was not Licinius II as it directs that he be reduced to the slave status of his

birth. No son of Constantine’s sister would have been referred to in this

manner.
