In Roman mythology , Jupiter or Jove was the
king of the gods , and the god of sky and thunder . He is the equivalent of Zeus
in the Greek pantheon . He was called Iuppiter (or Diespiter) Optimus Maximus
("Father God the Best and Greatest"). As the patron deity of ancient Rome , he
ruled over laws and social order. He was the chief god of the Capitoline Triad ,
with sister/wife Juno . Jupiter is also the father of the god Mars with Juno.
Therefore, Jupiter is the grandfather of Romulus and Remus , the legendary
founders of Rome. Jupiter was venerated in ancient Roman religion , and is still
venerated in Roman Neopaganism . He is a son of Saturn , along with brothers
Neptune and Pluto . He is also the brother/husband of Ceres (daughter of Saturn
and mother of Proserpina ), brother of Veritas (daughter of Saturn), and father
of Mercury .

Probus (Latin: Marcus Aurelius Probus
Augustus; c. 19 August 232 - September/October 282), was Roman Emperor from 276
to 282.



During his reign, the Rhine and Danube frontier was strengthened after
successful wars against several Germanic tribes such as the Goths, Alamanni,
Longiones, Franks, Burgundians, and Vandals. The Agri Decumates and much of the
Limes Germanicus in Germania Superior were officially abandoned during his
reign, with the Romans withdrawing to the Rhine and Danube rivers.



Born in 232 in Sirmium (modern day Sremska Mitrovica), Pannonia Inferior, the
son of Dalmatius.Probus was a leading general under Aurelian. He was proclaimed
Emperor on the death of Tacitus by his troops. Although he tried to restore
power to Rome by building many public work projects, he was murdered by some
mutinous troops who were enraged by having to work on these projects instead of
doing military duty.
