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.

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.
