Description
This group depicts Harmodius and Aristogeiton (both died 514 BC), two lovers from ancient Athens. They became known as the Tyrannicides after they killed the Peisistratid tyrant Hipparchus. In doing so, they became a symbol of democracy to ancient Athenians. It's a Roman copy of a Greek original from the early classical period.
