Pollux — son of Zeus, Olympic champion of boxing, an athlete who carries strength with grace. The intaglio on the round EOS bezel portrays him in profile: the curly, abundant hair moving around the face, the firm chin, the young features of the Dioscurus at the height of his vigour. An essential and harmonious ring, designed as a single lost-wax bronze casting, flexible and adaptable — it sits on any finger with a single gesture. The clean simplicity of this form enhances an intaglio of Canovian refinement: the burnished bronze, with its luminous gilding, brings every line of the profile into full light, and the whole essence of Pollux emerges from that bezel. The myths of Castor and Pollux are many — all of them orbit the same centre: absolute loyalty, the bond that holds under any condition. Inseparable brothers, protectors of those at sea, invoked in every moment that called for courage and faithfulness. The Dioscuri embody the union that classical culture always wished to celebrate. The star of the Gemini in the sky of Rome. Blue: the depth of the night sky — the Dioscurus in his stellar dimension, the portrait acquiring the distance of a constellation and its dwelling. Black: every curl stands sharp, the profile becomes a coin — the most precise definition of this face. Red: fire and resolve, the divine boxer in his colour, a boldness that declares and warms. Green: ancient serpentine, the deep-rooted strength that endures the centuries. Pollux on the finger — a jewel that perfectly describes the synthesis between the vigour of ancient sculpture and the freshness of a vision that honours simplicity and nobility of character.

One of the Dioscuri, sons of Zeus and Leda, excellent boxer. When his brother Castor, tamer of horses and a mortal, was wounded, Pollux begged Zeus to let him die or to also give immortality to his brother. Jove gave them permission to be together forever, half of their time in to the underworld and half with the gods on Mount Olympus. According to legend, the Dioscuri were transformed by Zeus in to the constellation Gemini. On the Quirinal hill in the fourth century BC the temple of the god Quirinus was built, god of the Romans organized in curiae, which gave the name to the hill. The most impressive appearances on the hill were certainly those of the baths of Constantine and the temple of Serapis, built by Caracalla in 217 d. C. From the ancient Roman temple come the sculptures of the Dioscuri, whose constant presence on the Quirinal hill led to its being called Monte Cavallo.
