It's the #DayOfZeus / Jupiter's Day / Thorsday! ⚡

"When Zeus was beginning warfare against the Titans [...] he saw an eagle fly nearby as a favourable omen for victory. In return for this happy omen, and particularly because it was indeed followed by victory, he put a golden eagle on his war standards and dedicated it as a protection for his valour."
Anacreon, Fragment 505d

🏛️ Iupiter, Asia Minor, 2nd-3rd century CE
