This Hercules Victor sculpture is made out of gilded bronze and was excavated from the Forum Boarium.1 This area is close to the Tiber in Rome with a circular and round inspired layout which is also home to many temples.2 The sculpture of Hercules Victor was located within this complex area and stood in front of the impressive Temple of Jupiter Optimus.3 To display the sculpture right there was not just to illustrate Hercules brute strength, but also hints to the significant meaning of the Forum Boarium to the people and Hercules in that period of time of Ancient Rome. In Roman stories Hercules was also known for his bravery who defeated twelve extremely difficult labors.4 While the Forum Boarium used to be seen as the old cattle market, to
Jove, Jowisz, the gas planet, the stormy planet, whatever you call it, these are all names for the biggest planet in our solar system, the fifth planet from the sun, Jupiter. The Romans named this planet after their god of the sky and thunder. This planet has 318 times as much mass as the earth, and its diameter is 11 times the earth’s diameter. Since this planet is the fastest spinning (rotates in less than 10 hours), it is flattened at the poles and it is bulged at its equator. One Jovian year (the time it takes to orbit the sun), take 11.9 earth years!
The Marble Statue of a Bearded Hercules was made by an unknown sculptor at the Early Imperial, also known as the Flavian period in circa 68–98 A.D. By analyzing this sculpture, this goddess portrays strength and masculinity and gives acknowledgement to his legacy which resolved a conflict between individual and society. This work of art also expresses an idea of showing a powerful goddess figure and a symbol of demonstrating the political authority of a leader. According to the Greek myths, Hercules was proven to be a legendary for his quality and courage; he experienced malevolent wraths and excessive fearlessness. He is a good hero overall, but he also has

Have you ever done something in the past that only impacted you n in the future? The book “Orbiting Jupiter” by Gary Schmidt delivers the shattering story of Joseph, a father at thirteen, who has never seen his daughter Jupiter. After spending time in a juvenile facility, he's placed with a foster family on a farm in rural Maine. This is due to Joseph attacking and almost killing a teacher. When he was interrogated, he claimed that he was drugged, and his mind flew somewhere else at the time and he wasn’t in control of his actions.

When the facility released him, he was sent to a foster home because of the abuse he suffered from his dad. Not only did the foster family look after him, they taught him family values and played a huge role in Josephs recovery. Throughout the story, the characters in Orbiting Jupiter
The study of Greek sculpture is a complex relationship of Roman sculpture. And a large number of Roman sculpture, especially in the stone, survives more or less intact, it is often damaged or piecemeal; life-size bronze statues are much more rare, because as most have been recycled for their metal. The
Since the statue was discovered in Italy, questions arise as to whether Lansdowne Heracles is Roman or Greek. Considering the facts that will be presented here, history of the Greek and the fact that Hercules was a Greek hero, the sculpture must be Greek. While archeologists are unanimous that the Statue of Hercules was sculptured in a Roman workshop in the 2nd century A.D, they believe that it was inspired by another Greek statue – now lost - sculptured by the
In her illuminating commentary, “The Temple of Zeus at Olympia, Heroes, and Athletes,” Judith M. Barringer introduces Olympia and sets the scene of the famous ruins in ancient times. She forces you to imagine the reverence one would feel by simply visiting the Temple of Zeus. When peering into the temple, many would have first focused on the labors of Herakles that were portrayed before turning their attention to the magnificent, gold and ivory adorned statue of zeus, implying that these representations were quite exceptional for their time. When viewed, they gave off a sense of being larger than life.
Louis Daniel Armstrong is known as one of the greatest trumpet players in history, and his talent came from long hours of practicing and playing with the right horn. There are beginner and professional horns that are sold in various places. However, a professional trumpet can give a better tone compared to a beginner trumpet. As of right now I am looking into two professional horn brands, Bach and Jupiter XO. Bach horns are known for having excellent quality and tone, and Jupiter horns are known for having nice quality and much less expensive than others. Although the Jupiter XO trumpet is not as efficient as a bach horn, it will still give me a better deal and enough room to improve as a trumpet player.
Thursday is a Jupiter day, Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet in the Solar System, Thursday's are also known as "Thor's day" the Norse god of thunder. He was the God of the Peasants or the poor people, Thor is represented riding a chariot drawn by goats and wielding the hammer, Thor hurled thunderbolts when enraged. He also wore a magic belt which increased his strength the more he pulled it in. Jupiter is depicted as the chief god of sky and thunder who maintained his power with his thunderbolt.

There have been countless duels between two opposing sides in the history Roman artistry. This sculpture relief signifies the classic battle of good versus evil. Time and time again, benevolent heroes find themselves in a struggle to combat worthy yet malicious adversaries. The Roman sarcophagus, a two by five feet marble coffin, is certainly no exception. It represents another division to this timeless good-evil epic, its visual characteristics, emphasis on contrasts, and its extensive array of details give it an identity that is uniquely its own. It portrays a sense of legendary fantasy to the viewer, one pertaining to hostility, violence, and pure anger. The sculpture seems overly shallow due to
One day at about 8:30 P.M., "Juno" got to Jupiter, traveling about 2.9 billion kilometers. Jupiter, as we all know, is the largest planet in the solar system, and consists of winds moving so fast that it moves at 400 miles per hour! Traveling there means suicide, because the winds can cause critical damage to anything that enters them. This is only because of its large amounts of radiation surrounding this planet. So, it makes the travel there really bumpy and bad.
Drops of Jupiter by Train, is a notorious song. Meanwhile it is analyzed as a love song rather than its true meaning. In reality, it is about the singer, Patrick Monahan, mourning over a loved one. I personally enjoy this song dearly, yet at the same time was one of the people who misunderstood the song. I like the band because they mainly have songs that encompass the meaning rather than about partying or drugs. Overall, the message to the fans isn’t really about love, but really it’s about Patrick Monahan, the lead singer in the band, going through the bereavement of a loved one. During a press conference, he disseminated how the tribute was dedicated towards his mother. His mother passed away, and this is the way that he grieved. The people
If my favorite roller coaster were transported to either Mercury or Jupiter, I would transport the roller coaster to Jupiter. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, so there is a huge gravitational pull. Jupiter’s acceleration is approximately 265% more than Earth’s acceleration. Acceleration that intense would propel your roller coaster cart so fast the thrill would be out of this world! The high gravitational pull on Jupiter would create greater G-Forces, adding to greater thrill. The fall that holds all the GPE and kinetic energy of the roller coaster (first hill) would be extremely fast because of acceleration that depends on the mass and height of the roller coaster. On Jupiter, the roller coaster would be going fast enough
Jupiter's is composed of hydrogen and helium. As compared to planetary bodies of Earth covered with a hard surface crust there is no jovian surface. There is the cloud tops beneath a transparent, mostly hydrogen upper atmosphere. Below the cloud layers, the clear atmosphere is denser and warmer and slowly converts from a gas to a liquid without a sharp boundary to show the change. The planet core is consist of iron-nickel alloy and materials with the composition of rock, etc., at a temperature estimated to exceed 20,000 degrees Celsius
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and by far the largest mass object in the solar system of all the other planets. Jupiter is twice the size of all the other planets combined. It is as 318 times the sizes of earth. The distance that Jupiter orbits the sun is 778,330,000 km (Gallant pp154). The diameter is 142,984 km and the mass that it has is 1.900e27 kg. Jupiter is the fourth brightest object in the sky after the Sun, the Moon and Venus. Mars is some times brighter. Galileo discovered Jupiter in 1610(Gallant); another interesting fact is that Jupiter has 4 large moons. Which are known as the Galilean moons. They were named Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. The first mission that went to Jupiter was Pioneer 10 in 1973 and later
