JUPITER AMMON,

or Hammon, had a Temple in Libya, and a Statue under the Figure of a Ram, from whence he was called Corniger Hammon. This Temple was very famous on the account of his Oracles.

Jupiter is represented on several Medals, sometimes carrying Victory in his right hand, and a Spear instead of a Scepter in the left; sometimes riding on a Kam, or a She Goat, with this Inscription, JOVI CRES∣CENTI, because he had been Nursed up with her Milk; sometimes sitting in the midst of the Four Elements, holding a Dart with one hand, and laying the other upon the Head of his Eagle; with two Figures that lay along under his Feet, which repre∣sent the Two Elements of Water and Earth, having the Zodiack round about him, where the Twelve Signs are represented.
