I wish I can remember what I read about this ... I recall that they were identifiable as belonging to a particular corps of guards or soldiers. I assume this was based on their armour and weaponry.

What is cool about this sculpture is that it is at ground level, incorporated into a corner of St. Mark's cathedral, so you can get a very good look at it (and even touch it). You can see the pavement in the background of the right-hand photo, in fact.
