Castor & Pollux

Outside the Quirinal Palace, which is the official residence of the President of Rome, stands the giant statues of Castor & Pollux, the patrons of horsemanship. The statues were made in 5BC. The obelisk, originally from Egypt, was taken from the Mausoleum of Augustus. The giant trough fountain was taken from the forum where it was used to water cattle.
