Ókori római Medál szalagos achát mélynyomással, Jupiterrel és világítócsavarral (Nincs minimálár)

Ancient Roman Pendant with Banded agate Intaglio with Jupiter and Lighting Bolt
Circa 1st-2nd century AD
This oval-shaped banded black and white agate intaglio is set within a pendant setting, complete with a loop for suspension. The intaglio is finely engraved with a left-facing portrait of Jupiter (Greek Zeus). The god is depicted in profile with large, wide-open eyes, a prominent nose, and well-defined lips, all contributing to the majestic and commanding presence of his visage. His elegantly arranged hair is bound by a wreath. In the left field of the intaglio, a lightning bolt is engraved, representing Jupiter's power and his role as the controller of thunder and storms.
Jupiter, known as Zeus in Greek mythology, was the chief deity in Roman and Greek religion, respectively. As the king of the gods, he presided over the heavens and was associated with thunder, lightning, and storms. Jupiter was the son of Saturn (Cronus in Greek mythology) and Ops (Rhea), and his siblings included Neptune (Poseidon), Pluto (Hades), Juno (Hera), Vesta (Hestia), and Ceres (Demeter). In myth, he overthrew his father Saturn to become the supreme ruler of the gods and humanity.
Jupiter was most famous for his role as a protector of the state and its laws in Roman culture, mirroring Zeus’s position as the enforcer of order and justice among the Greeks. Temples dedicated to Jupiter, such as the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus on the Capitoline Hill in Rome, were central to Roman religious life.
