About this 3D model

This statue of Neptune defeating an octopus is part of the Fountain of Neptune in Rome, Italy. If the basin was realized in the 16th century, this monumental sculpture was only added in 1878 by Antonio della Bitta. Neptune was the god of freshwater and the sea in Roman religion. In the Greek-influenced tradition, Neptune was the brother of Jupiter and Pluto; the brothers presided over the realms of Heaven, the earthly world, and the Underworld. He is the owner of a powerful weapon, the Trident.
