G. Wissowa advanced the hypothesis that Semo Sancus is the genius of Jupiter. [208] W. W. Fowler has cautioned that this interpretation looks to be an anachronism and it would only be acceptable to say that Sancus is a Genius Iovius, as it appears from the Iguvine Tables. [212] By þe goddesse Mynerue And Iuppiter þat maketh þe þonder rynge … ye be the womman … That I best loue.” (“By the goddess Minerva and Jupiter that maketh the thunder ring … you be the woman … that I best love.”) A: Yes, you’re right that “by Jove” was a precursor to “by George”—chronologically speaking, if not etymologically. In The Interjections of Terence (1899), Walter Russell Newton writes, “ Pro generally indicates pain or grief, but sometimes anger, and less frequently joy.” In English, he says, it should be translated as “O.” Jean MacIntosh Turfa, (2012), Divining the Etruscan World: The Brontoscopic Calendar and Religious Practice Cambridge University Press, p. 62.

Jupiter Optimus Maximus ("the best and greatest"). Optumus [k] because of the benefits he bestows, Maximus because of his strength, according to Cicero Pro Domo Sua. [27] Jupiter is depicted as the twin of Juno in a statue at Praeneste that showed them nursed by Fortuna Primigenia. [50] An inscription that is also from Praeneste, however, says that Fortuna Primigenia was Jupiter's first-born child. [51] Jacqueline Champeaux sees this contradiction as the result of successive different cultural and religious phases, in which a wave of influence coming from the Hellenic world made Fortuna the daughter of Jupiter. [52] The childhood of Zeus is an important theme in Greek religion, art and literature, but there are only rare (or dubious) depictions of Jupiter as a child. [53] Numa Pompilius [ edit ] C. M. A.

Cited by Wissowa (1912) Iuppiter Victor had a temple dedicated by Quintus Fabius Maximus Gurges during the third Samnite War in 295 BC. It was probably on the Quirinal, on which an inscription reading Diovei Victore [71] has been found, but was eclipsed by the imperial period by the Temple of Jupiter Invictus on the Palatine, which was often referred to by the same name. [72] Inscriptions from the imperial age have revealed the existence of an otherwise-unknown temple of Iuppiter Propugnator on the Palatine. [73] Iuppiter Latiaris and Feriae Latinae [ edit ]

Well, the use of “by Jove” as a euphemistic oath showed up about the same time as the euphemistic use of “for George.” But it took almost a century more for the “by George” version to show up.

There were two temples in Rome dedicated to Iuppiter Stator; the first one was built and dedicated in 294 BC by Marcus Atilius Regulus after the third Samnite War. It was located on the Via Nova, below the Porta Mugonia, ancient entrance to the Palatine. [65] Legend attributed its founding to Romulus. [66] There may have been an earlier shrine ( fanum), since the Jupiter cult is attested epigraphically. [67] Ovid places the temple's dedication on June 27, but it is unclear whether this was the original date, [68] or the rededication after the restoration by Augustus. [b] Altar to Jupiter on the outskirts of legionary fortress, 2nd–3rd century AD. Inscription: "Dedicated by L. Lollius Clarus for himself and his family" Wissowa considered Jupiter also a god of war and agriculture, in addition to his political role as guarantor of good faith (public and private) as Iuppiter Lapis and Dius Fidius, respectively. His view is grounded in the sphere of action of the god (who intervenes in battle and influences the harvest through weather). [176]
