The kamea of Jupiter
The 4×4 magic square — every row, column, and diagonal sums to 34, and the total sum of all cells is 136. It is through this grid that the sigils of Jupiter's entities are traced, connecting numerical values to create sacred geometric forms.
How it is pictured
A kingly bearded man in his prime, often shown bearing thunderbolts, a sceptre, or lance — sometimes a patera (offering plate). Occasionally depicted riding an eagle, griffin, or winged stag. The oak tree was sacred to him, and he was sometimes represented wearing a wreath of oak leaves.
