These columns are the remains of the Temple of Castor and Pollux, the twin sons of Zeus and Leda and the twins in the Gemini constellation. The temple was built in 484 B.C., and legend has it that it was built to commemorate the battle between the last King of Rome and the nascent Roman Republic (led by the dictator Aulus Postumius Albinus). Legend has it that the twins Castor and Pollux (conveniently disguised as anonymous horsemen) appeared on the battlefield near Lake Regillus to help turn the tide of the battle in favour of the Roman Republic. Immediately afterwards, they were supposed to have been seen in the Roman Forum, watering their horses at a spring. Aulus Albinus had the temple constructed in their honour.

The temple was enlarged and rebuilt several times between 117 B.C. and 6 A.D.. During the time of the Republic, it was a meeting place for the Senate and its podium was used as a speaker's platform. It was used as an office for weights and measures in Imperial Rome. The temple was still standing in the 4th century A.D., but by the 15th century the three columns and the podium were all that was left of it.

Die Pollux ist eine in Amsterdam beheimatete Bark, die als stationäres Segelschulschiff betrieben wurde. Es war von Anfang an als stationäres Schulschiff geplant und besitzt daher auch nur ein sehr flaches Unterwasserschiff. Es gab seinerzeit Pläne, die Pollux im Unterwasserbereich umzubauen, um mit ihr aktiv segeln zu können, diese wurden aber nicht umgesetzt.

The three columns are what remains of the temple of Castor and Pollux in the roman forum.

The temple was originally built in gratitude for victory at the battle of Lake Regillus (495 BC). Castor and Pollux (Greek Polydeuces) were the Dioscuri, the "twins" of Gemini, the twin sons of Zeus (Jupiter) and Leda. Their cult came to Rome from Greece via Magna Graecia and the Greek culture of Southern Italy.
