The re-examination of the monumental statue of Zeus from Gaza, nowadays exhibited in the Istanbul Archaeological Museums, comprises an iconographical, as well as a stylistic comparative analysis. Comparisons with monumental sculpture (Jupiter Verospi, Jupiter Otricoli, Capitoline Jupiter from Carthage, and the Zeus in the Metropolitan Museum of Art), statuettes, and other artistic media (vase painting, gems, coins) indicate that this work of art shows an eclectic character of various artistic trends and concepts, based on Classical-Hellenistic features. It is plausible to conclude that the Zeus from Gaza is a Roman work of art, created by an anonymous artist and may be dated to the second century AD.
