Sculpture inaugurated on 06.10.2009, in iron and granite, more than two meters high, executed by Salvador Vieira and Mário Rocha, intends to perpetuate the passage of Decius Junius Brutus, and his troops, by Bridge of Lima, in the year 135 B.C
"Legend of the River Lethes - The River of Oblivion
Commanded by Decius Junius Brutus, the Roman hosts reached the left bank of Lima in 135 BC The beauty of the place made them judge before the legendary Rio Lethes, which erased all the memories of the memory of whoever crossed it. The soldiers refused to cross him. Then the commander passed, and from this shore called every soldier by his name. So he proved to them not to be the River of Oblivion. "
