Jupiter the Greatest and Best & Jupiter Dolichenus - The Syrian Jupiter 

I actually haven't seen it but I bet you could - thought to a Roman I think that would be like a Christian saying 'Jesus' a lot!

Hi Philippe, thank you. It's a difficult one as he is dark in the portrait we have of him, but it's not enough to draw ethnicity from in my opinion. He was a very dangerous man and unpleasant by imperial standards for certain and it's more important to focus on his character than his race!

@@AlexIlesUK Nonsense!!!We have effigies of this incarnation of Jupiter and the facial features are obviously not those of any sort of sub saharan african.

@@AlexIlesUK Also it's better to say religious traditions not mythology because the way you use it reeks of Christian bias. Otherwise great video

Glad you enjoyed it.

Incarnation of Jupiter? I understand that the Romans did believe that there was a imperial divinity but they are not incarnations of Jupiter as I understand it. Are you a modern Hellenist?
