Description
US Capitol War Statue - East view to the United States Capitol Senate building.
Marble allegorical statues "War" and "Peace" flank the East Central Front entrance to the U.S. Capitol.
In the niche right of the East Central Front entrance is "War," a male figure with his head slightly tilted and his gaze fixed ahead.
His left hand holds the hilt of his sheathed sword and his right supports his shield as it rests upon the ground. He wears the costume of an ancient Roman, with a toga over his shoulders and a tunic extending as low as his knees; its border, like his belt, is richly ornamented.
The United States Capitol, often called The Capitol or the Capitol Building, is the meeting place of the United States Congress and the seat of the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government.
It is located on Capitol Hill at the eastern end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
