In ancient Roman
religion and myth, Jupiter (Latin:Iuppiter) or Jove is
the king of the gods and the god of sky and thunder.
Jupiter was the chief deity of Roman state religion
throughout the Republican and Imperial eras, until the
Empire came under Christian rule. In Roman
mythology, he negotiates with Numa Pompilius, the
second king of Rome, to establish principles of Roman
religion such as sacrifice.
Jupiter is usually thought to have originated as a sky
god. His identifying implement is the thunderbolt, and
his primary sacred animal is the eagle, which held
precedence over other birds in the taking
of auspices and became one of the most common
symbols of the Roman army (seeAquila). The two
emblems were often combined to represent the god in
the form of an eagle holding in its claws a thunderbolt,
frequently seen on Greek and Roman coins. As the
sky-god, he was a divine witness to oaths, the sacred
trust on which justice and good government depend. Many of his f
