Remains of the pediment from the Temple of Minerva. The central carving is the "Gorgon's head," which combines many ideas. The Gorgon is a symbol of Minerva and also resembles other water gods like Oceanus and Neptune. Its sun-like appearance may represent the heat of the sacred spring.
The Gorgon is encircled by surrounded by wreaths of leaves and surrounded by winged victories. The owl and the helmet on the bottom symbolize Minerva's responsibility for wisdom and war.
