The colossal pair of marble "Horse Tamers"—often identified as Castor and Pollux—have stood since antiquity near the site of the Baths of Constantine on the Quirinal Hill, Rome. Napoleon's agents wanted to include them among the classical booty removed from Rome after the 1797 Treaty of Tolentino, but they were too large to be buried or to be moved very far. They are fourth-century Roman copies of Greek originals. They gave to the Quirinal its medieval name Monte Cavallo (Italian for 'Horse Mountain'), which lingered into the nineteenth century. Their coarseness has been noted, while the vigor—notably that of the horses—has been admired. The Colossi of the Quirinal are the original exponents of this theme of dominating power, which has appealed to powerful patrons since the seventeenth cen

  • Τα αγάλματα των Κάστορα και Πολυδεύκη είναι κολοσσιαίο γλυπτό σύμπλεγμα και αριστούργημα της γλυπτικής τέχνης της αρχαίας Ελλάδας. Τα σημερινά γλυπτά είναι αντίγραφα αρχαιότερων, που με την σειρά τους ήταν αντίγραφα των γνησίων, μπρούτζινων ανδριάντων. Σήμερα βρίσκονται στην Ρωμαϊκή πλατεία Quirinal που λόγω του συμπλέγματος αυτού ονομάζεται κοινώς Μόντε Καβάλλο, δηλαδή λόφος των ίππων. (el)
  • Zaldi hezleak jatorriz Erromako Quirinalean zeuden estatua erraldoiak ziren. Antzinakotasun handia zuten, Antzinako Erromako garaikoak baitziren. Dena dela, jatorria zaharrago da zeren eta Antzinako Greziaren eredua jarraitu bazuten. Eskulturetan agertzen ziren pertsonaiak Kastor eta Polux edo Dioskuroak ziren. Lan hauek Erdi Aroko lanetan oso aipatuak izan ziren, adibidez, liburuan. Eredua askotan errepikatua izan da; esaterako, Frantzian, 1743 eta 1745 artean, taldea egin zuen. (eu)
  • Les dompteurs de chevaux sont à l'origine une paire de statues colossales placées sur le Quirinal, à Rome, et remontant à l'Antiquité romaine. Elles sont généralement identifiées aux Dioscures, Castor et Pollux. Ces statues gigantesques sont plusieurs fois remarquées dans des ouvrages médiévaux Leur modèle est copié de nombreuses fois, servant d'inspiration par exemple aux chevaux de Marly. (fr)

  • Domadores de Cavalos é um famoso par de estátuas colossais, geralmente identificadas como sendo dos irmãos Castor e Pólux, que desde a Antiguidade estão perto do local das antigas Termas de Constantino, no monte Quirinal em Roma. Os agentes de Napoleão queriam incluí-las entre as diversas obras de arte clássicas removidas de Roma depois do Tratado de Tolentino (1797), mas elas se revelaram grandes demais para serem movidas por longas distâncias. Sabe-se que elas são cópias romanas do século IV de originais gregos. (pt)
