Jupiter Ammon (Ζεὺς Ἄμμων) was a syncretic deity combining aspects of the Roman god Jupiter and the Egyptian god Amun. He was particularly venerated in ancient Libya and Egypt, where his oracle at the Siwa Oasis was renowned. Jupiter Ammon was often depicted with ram’s horns, reflecting the iconography of Amun. Amulets bearing his name were believed to offer protection and bring good fortune.
