Zeus

photo

A marble statue of the supreme god Zeus (= Roman Jupiter) that was found in one of the Terrace Houses in Ephesus. It dates to the second-third century AD. An eagle, one of his symbols, is at his right foot. He may have had a staff or thunderbolt in his left hand. His beard and hair suggest a portrayal as a mature man.
