Influence
In the 1st century BCE Egypt the Medjay Bayek of Siwa found and wielded a spear called Neptune's Grasp.[1]
During the Renaissance the Villa Auditore in Monteriggioni had a small statue featuring Neptune. It was paired with one of his brother Pluto.[2]
Among the pirates Neptune's name was often invoked. Even though Edward Kenway[3] did so at least on one occasion, Samuel Bellamy and Alonzo Batilla were quite fond of using it.[4]
