Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus

Located in Sawyer Point Park, and erected in 1984, the legendary Roman is seen here after he had defeated the Aequians and rescued the trapped Roman army. With one hand he returns the fasces, symbol of power as appointed dictator of Rome. His other hand holds the plow, as he resumes the life of a citizen and farmer.

This sculpture was given to the city, in honor of the volunteer spirit of the citizen-soldier, Cincinnatus, by members and friends of the Cincinnatus Association.
