I'm pretty sure it was so big you could fit an entire Roman empire in there as well

Well, at the time didn’t Jupiter live up on a mountain top in the empire? Checks out to me.

Funny thing about that - the Greeks believed that the gods lived on Mount Olympus, but the Romans were more keen to see the gods as abstract. Jupiter, though sometimes personified, was often thought of by the Romans as the sky itself.
