A bold tribute to the Capitoline Wolf and the Ancient Roman Founding Legend where the she-wolf suckling the twin infants Romulus and Remus, immortalized in the bronze Capitoline Wolf sculpture displayed in the Capitoline Museums in Rome, represents one of the most enduring and powerful founding myths in Western civilization, narrating how the twin sons of the god Mars and the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia were abandoned at birth on the banks of the Tiber, suckled and sheltered by a she-wolf who saved them from death, raised by the shepherd Faustulus, and grew to manhood to found the city of Rome on the Palatine Hill on 21 April 753 BCE, where the wolf as the sacred animal of Mars connected Rome from its very origins to the divine authority of the god of war and the fierce, predatory power of the wilderness, and where the image of the Capitoline Wolf has served as the symbol of Rome and of Italy for two and a half millennia, appearing on Roman coins, military standards, and civic emblems and enduring as the most universally recognized symbol of Roman civilization and the founding story of the Western world's most influential city.
