The pieces are two sculptures of hollow bronze figures, representing two completely naked men, of 1.30 and 1.50 meters high. When they were found, both statues had suffered amputations of the arms and legs, one had no head and part of the abdomen was missing, and the other had no genitals. Much of the mutilated pieces have been recovered. According to a first report of archaeologists from the Cultural Office of the Junta de Andalucia in Córdoba, the pieces are from the High Roman Empire. If confirmed they are independent pieces could be sculptures of Castor and Pollux, twin brothers, together known as the Dioscuri, sons of Zeus, with an appraised value of about 6 million euro.
