Who is King Neptune?
I found a lot of stories about King Neptune, which I don’t want to write all of them because it will take a book to get to know his entire life.
King Neptune, was the Roman God of water and sea. Neptune was often shown carrying a trident 🔱. He rode on a chariot pulled by sea creatures or by horses, which where his favorite animals.
At the picture, Paul Dypasquale surrounded him by various fish, dolphins, lobsters, and octopuses. Above this base, the figure of Neptune begins, starting with his waist. Neptune holds a trident in his right hand and rests his left hand on a loggerhead turtle.
