The statues of Castor and Pollux are Roman copies of 5th Century BC Greek originals.
They once stood at the Baths of Constantine. The Obelisk once stood at the Mausoleum
of Augustus and the massive granite basin of the fountain was once a cattle trough
in the Roman Forum! All were eventually arranged here on the Quirinale Hill in 1818.
