Jupiter, otherwise known as Jove, is the chief deity of the Roman Pantheon. Within Imperivm Romanvm, Jupiter is held as the supreme godhead and ultimate ruler of the universe.

Unique Epithets

In a distinct difference from Ancient Romans, Roman Hellenists within Imperivm Romanvm revere Jupiter under several unique epithets not present in antiquity.

Jupiter Anemoius

The cult of Jupiter Anemoius was founded by Senator Gaius Usonius Nicolaus. The epithet Anemoius derives from the neologism anemoia, coined by The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, defined as, “nostalgia for a time you’ve never known”. The word itself derives from two Greek roots, anemos 'wind' + noos 'mind'. Many Roman Hellenists have previously expressed a longing for antiquity, and revered Jupiter in a capacity as the overseer and preserver of Roman identity. The epithet of Anemoius was coined to give proper terminology for a capacity of worship many New Romans had already naturally developed.
