Castor and Pollux with their Horses at Piazza del Campidoglio

The two Dioscuri, or Castori (Castor and Pollux), on top of the cordonata leading to Piazza del Campidoglio. These statues come from the Temple dedicated to the Dioscuri on the so called "Monte Cenci" (in the Ghetto) and date (of course) back to the late Roman Empire. Castor on the left, Pollux on the right.
