Throughout the city of [[Monteriggioni]], eight '''statuettes''' of [[Rome|Roman]] gods can be found scattered about. Once collected, two of the statuettes can be placed on one of four designated pedestals located at the back of the [[Auditore Villa|Villa]]. Once the two correct statuettes are placed onto a pedestal, the player obtains 2,000 florins, the same amount for each pedestal. Finishing this first can both increase the value of the city as well as supply large amounts of money early on to further increase the city.

===Jupiter===
On the rear/eastern wall of the Church.


Everything explained is in map view. So to understand what I am explaining, it would be essential to have your map up. The locations of the statuettes are as following:
As Jupiter is located high up on the wall of the Church, it may either be reached by climbing the Church and dropping down its eastern wall, or by climbing the large building to the west of it (the city [[Mercenaries|Mercenary]] guild) and jumping.


'''Neptune: '''''You can find Neptune by starting at the [[Blacksmith]]. Climb to the top of the building where the blacksmith is and then jump onto the building that is to the right of it (in map view). Then just drop at the front of the buidling and Neptune should be right there.''
===Pluto===
To the north of the courtyard fronting the Church.


'''Pluto: '''''Pluto is rather easy to find. It is located at the top right corner of the the village, just right of the arena where you can practice your skills (in map view ). After finding Neptune, just climb the building in front of you until you are in line with the arena. Then drop of to the left of the building (in map view).''
When facing the entrance to Church, simply turn left and look behind the small tree next to the Church courtyard. The statuette should be attached to the wall just behind it.


'''Jupiter: '''''Jupiter is almost hidden. Start at the right corner of the map (inside the walls). There is a rather large building that sits opposite of a small building. That small building is where Jupiter is. Climb the left side of the larger building and then jump onto the right side of the small church (in map view), you should get Jupiter when you jump. ''
===Neptune===
On a wall southeast from the Villa entrance.


'''Minerva: '''''Minerva is pretty easy. Start by entering Monteriggioni. Take a right and continue down the alleyway. The building that is to your left is where it is. Climb it and it should be on the left side of the building. It is one of the first buildings when you enter, on the right side. It is large on the map. Also, at night, if you climb onto the church right above where the Jupiter statue is, you can see the statue glowing west-southwest of the church.''
Neptune is located at the top right corner of the the village, just east of the training arena. After finding Pluto, it may be reached by climbing the building directly in front of you until you are in line with the arena. Afterwards, drop off to the left, towards the arena.


'''Diana: '''''Diana is on the opposite building of Minerva. Instead of taking a right, take a left and climb the building you first see. There is a small space in the center of the building, just go into the middle and it should be on the wall that is opposite of where you climbed.''
===Mars===
On a wall southwest from the Villa entrance.


'''Apollo: '''''Apollo is on a building that looks kind of like a backwards capital "J". It is in the lower left corner of the map. There is a little inlet on the right side of the building when you look at your map. That's where it is. Just drop down onto a platform and Apollo is yours.''
Mars is almost at a mirror location to Neptune, and can be found by going directly west after finding Neptune. It is attached to a wall to the west of the arena.


'''Mars: '''''Mars is located around the same building as Venus, which is at the top left corner of the map. It is the house below the smaller house. Climb to the top of the building, and run to the opposite end. Drop down and you shall find the other half of the Statuette Pair.''
===Venus===
On the western wall of the western building closest to the Villa.


'''Venus: '''''Venus is located at the top left corner of the villages'' ''(at the same building as Mars). The house that is right below the smaller one in the top corner, on the left side of the house, which is facing the Monteriggioni wall.''
Venus is located on the west wall of a small building, which is northwest of the building where Mars is located. The statuette is attached to the wall just above a wooden scaffolding.
 
===Apollo===
At the southwest corner of the city, on the building just north of the [[Brothels|brothel]].
 
It may be easily found by looking north from the roof of the brothel. It is attached to the second floor of the adjacent building, just above and to the left of an archway.
 
===Diana===
On the northern wall of the building directly in front of the city gate.
 
Similarly to Apollo, Diana is just above and to the left of an archway. It may be easily found looking to the south of the courtyard with a lush tree, in line with a street crossed over by several wooden beams.
 
===Minerva===
On a building just to the east of the city entrance.
 
Minerva is on the corner of a building that is attached to a walled in courtyard with a small tree (similar to the tree courtyard in which Pluto is located). It is on the opposite side of the building to the tree, on a low roof in the southeast corner.
 
==Trivia==
*Two statuettes, Minerva and Juno, have both been revealed to represent members of [[Those Who Came Before]].
