[2] pilleatis fratribus: i.e. Castor and Pollux, who are often represented in ancient art wearing the pilleus. Their temple, usually called that of Castor alone (Suet. Iul. 10), stood on the southern side of the Forum, near its eastern end. From its restoration in 6 A.D., three Corinthian columns still stand with the ancient podium.
