Description
The great Trevi Fountain of Rome is one of the most visited and appreciated fountains in all of Europe. The main statue of the fountain does not represent Neptune, but Ocean. In fact, the main statue is an image of Ocean, the personification of a immense river that flows around the earth and from which all streams of water derive.
In the centre of the fountain is a statue of Oceanus, standing under a triumphal arch. His chariot is being pulled by two sea horses, one wild and one docile, representing the opposing moods of the sea. This image is of the older Triton holding a twisted shell to announce their passage.
