Artist's Description

This area borded by the Tiber, the ancient cattle auction and the Circus Maximus is supposidly the general location of Hercules' victory over Cacus during his return from the 8th of his labors. According to legend, as he was passing through Rome on his return from stealing the cattle of Geryon, the monster Cacus made off with a few cattle and hid them in a nearby cave. Hercules located them and slew Cacus. To celebrate his victory, Hercules made a sacrifice of a few bulls on this site.

Often mistaken for the Temple of Vesta, this is the oldest preserved temple in Rome.
In 1717 Francisco Carlo Bizzaccheri designed the fountain in honor of Pope Clement IX Albani. Two tritons sit on rocks back-to-back with their tails entwined, supporting a shell-shaped basin with the Papal coat of arms carved on both sides.

It's located near the Piazza della Bocca, where the "Mouth of Truth" is located in the wall outside the church.

About Melany Sarafis

Melany Sarafis

Melany Sarafis served her country for 24 years and recently retired from the USAF as a First Sergeant. She thinks it's really stupid when photographers refer to themselves in the 3rd person on their biographies. I needed to do something "low speed" after a successful but stressful military career. I've have been an avid photographer for a few years and enjoy this "internal" creative process and I was a full time student at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Tx, pursuing a BFA in Studio Arts with an emphasis in Photography and Jewelry/Metalsmith Work. After taking an Art History course and learning a little about the Renaissance, I've become enamored with this art era. I took a trip to Florence Italy (the home of the Renaissance)...
