SPRING OF JUTURNA The fountain named after Juturna, which collected the waters of a spring, dates to the archaic period (6th century BC). According to legend Castor and Pollux, the divine twins horsemen who led Rome to victory over the Latins (499 BC), were seen here watering their horses and it was thus decided to build the nearby temple in their honour. The fountain was rebuilt several times between the 2nd and 1st century BC and again in the imperial period: it was clad in marble and a pedestal in the centre held the statues of the Dioscuri. In the basin an altar is preserved with depictions of the twins.
