| ENT_ROM_JUPITER | SRC_LIVY_AUC | direct attestation | Jupiter Optimus Maximus is the presiding deity of the Roman state throughout Livy. AUC 1.10 (first triumphal offering to Jupiter Feretrius by Romulus); 1.38 (Capitoline temple vow); 5.51-54 (Jupiter's will that Rome remain at the Tiber). Livy is the essential source for Jupiter's role as guarantor of Roman victory. |
