Jupiter Dodonaeus 1774

This anonymous 1774 engraving titled "Jupiter Dodoneus" portrays the Roman god Jupiter in profile, crowned with oak leaves, a symbol of his strength and power. The work is a reproduction of a coin, perhaps that of Alexander, a king of Epirus in Greece, which features an image of the deity. The inscription indicates that this particular representation of Jupiter hails from Dodona, a site of ancient oracle and religious rituals, adding to the mythological and historical significance of the work.
