The Bamberg Rose Garden was designed in the style of an antique Roman garden.
Part of the design are statues of Roman deities, sculpted by Royal sculptor Ferdinand Dietz in 1761.
One of the statues depicts Jupiter, king of the gods in Ancient Roman religion and mythology. Jupiter was the god of the sky and the god of thunder.
The planet Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, is named after the god.
