Pasquino or
Pasquin (

Romans since the
early modern period to describe a battered
Hellenistic-style statue dating to the 3rd century BC, which was unearthed in the
Parione district of
Rome in the 15th century. It is located in a piazza of the same name on the southwest corner of the
Palazzo Braschi (Museo di Roma); near the site where it was unearthed. The statue is known as the first of the
talking statues of Rome, because of the tradition of attaching anonymous criticisms to its base.
