This relief depicts a little pediment with a depiction of the three major divinities of the Roman pantheon. At the centre there is Jove –Zeus- with one of his attributes, the eagle. On his side there are Juno with her head veiled, and Minerva with her helmet and round shield. At the side of the triad there are Castor and Pollux, the Dioscuri. The relief was probably inspired to the pediment of the Capitoline temple, after the Domitian’s reconstruction. |
