		+	''Iuppiter Giant Columns'' are a special form of Gallo-Roman veneration that can be found in Provinciae Germania and Gallia. They usually present a triumphant mounted Iuppiter at the top of the column, riding down a struggling giant, sometimes the god himself is shown in full armour or with the insignia of his reign. The column bases are often four-sided and decorated with portrayals of Capitoline gods, mostly Minerva, Hercules, Mercurius etc.

		+	''Iuppiter Feretrius'' ("who carries away the spoils of war"; called upon to witness solemn oaths - cf. "by Jove"). The epithet or “numen” is probably connected with ferire, the stroke of ritual as illustrated in foedus ferire, of which the silex, a quartz rock, is evidence in his temple on the Capitoline hill, which is said to have been the first temple in Rome, erected and dedicated by Romulus to commemorate his winning of the spolia opima from Acron, king of the Caeninenses, and to serve as a repository for them. Iuppiter Feretrius was therefore equivalent to Iuppiter Lapis, the latter used for a specially solemn oath.

		+
		+	''Jupiter Capitolinus'', the Jupiter Optimus Maximus, venerated in all the places in the Roman Empire with a Capitol (Capitolium)
		+
		+	''Iuppiter Dolichenus'' (from Doliche in Syria, originally a Baal weather and war god), since Vespasian popular among the Roman legions as god of war and victory, esp. on the Danube (Carnuntum). Stands on a bull, a thunderbolt in the left, a double ax in the right hand.
