Thundering Jupiter. The god can be recognized by his bearded face and the lightning he holds in his right hand.  The Romans attributed lightning to Jupiter. The scepter he was holding in the left hand is gone. At his feet stands the goat Amalthea. A myth says that she would have breastfed Jupiter when he was a baby. On the Capitol hill in Rome, a temple was dedicated to Jupiter. This statuette is derived from the large model that was in this temple. From Mâcon, Matisco in Roman times. Now in the British Museum, inv. 1824,0453.9. Picture taken at the Oog in oog met de Romeinen (Eye to Eye with the Romans) Exhibition in the Gallo-Romeins Museum of Tongres.
