ENT_ROM_JUPITER_DOLICHENUS,PER_ROM_IMPERIAL Jupiter Optimus Maximus Dolichenus ENT_ROM_JUPITER_DOLICHENUS Roman Imperial PER_ROM_IMPERIAL high Roman imperial cult of the Baal of Doliche (a city in Commagene, eastern Anatolia), assimilated to Jupiter Optimus Maximus. Depicted standing on a bull, wearing a Phrygian cap, holding a double-axe and thunderbolt. A markedly military god whose cult spread along the limes via the army from the late 1st to mid-3rd c. CE (declining after the sack of Doliche c.253). Underlying figure is the Anatolian/Commagenian storm-god (a Baal-Hadad type) in interpretatio Romana. Attested by dolichena (sanctuaries) and dedications across the Danube, Rhine, and Britain; Beard/North/Price treat it among the oriental cults. SRC_BEARD_ROMAN_RELIGIONS reviewed
