It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / #Thursday! ⚡
Meet the Jupiter of Cumae made of marble from Thassos. Cumae is famous for the Sybel of Cumae whose alleged cave is a tourist attraction. The statue probably used to be housed in the Temple of #Zeus which was turned into a basilica after Christianisation.
