Zeus was the Greek god of the sky and thunder, law and order, and is identified in the Roman world with Jupiter. He is often depicted as a mature man with a dark beard. As the god of the sky, thunder, and sovereignty, Jupiter held immense religious, political, and cultural significance. He was regarded as the protector of the state, the enforcer of justice, and the guarantor of Rome’s power and prosperity.
