Capitoline Wolf – Musei Capitolini, Rome, Italy
The bronze sculpture is intended to represent the legend of the founding of Rome. The infants are the twins; Romulus and Remus, who were said to have been thrown in the river Tiber after their grandfather Numitor was overthrown. The she-wolf saved and nurtured the twins until a herdsman came upon them and raised them as his own. Although there is a great deal of controversy over the date in which the sculpture was made, we have gained clues through medieval references that mention a wolf and twins.
