Lupa Capitolina

[Mark]

I'm in Rome at the moment so interesting story for me at any rate. The famous she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus seems to be a medieval casting, rather than (as previously thought) Etruscan (this is the wolf, the babies are known to have been added during the Renaissance).
