Capitoline Wolf
The Capitoline Wolf is a bronze sculpture that represents a she-wolf nursing the legendary founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus. This iconic artwork dates back to the 5th century BC, although the figures of the twins were added in the 15th century. The wolf symbolizes the strength and resilience of Rome and is a significant emblem of the city.
The sculpture is housed in the Capitoline Museums in Rome, Italy. It is one of the most recognized symbols of Roman mythology and history, reflecting the story of the twins who were said to have been raised by the wolf after being abandoned. The Capitoline Wolf continues to be a powerful representation of Roman heritage.
