The Hindu

Justice is not blind. The bandage is torn away from her eyes and look - there she is, climbing down from the #pediment when she stood for so long among all those other carved abstracts, sword in her hand and scales swinging. She can see you now. I hope you're ready.

These two #ancient #roman #statues of river gods were moved to the #campidoglio ( #capitolinehill) when it was remodelled by #Michelangelo. Originally they sat in the #pediment of a #temple. One god rests on a #sphinx and represents the Nile, the other originally on a tiger to represent the river Tigris. But this animal was recarved (badly) to resemble a wolf and the twins add to symbolise #Romulus, Remus and the river #tiber
