EDITORS COMMENTS
This replica of the Capitoline Wolf and Infants Romulus and Remus, hails from the ancient city of Merida, in the Extremadura province of Spain. The original statue, believed to be Etruscan in origin, dates back to the 4th century BC and is one of the most iconic symbols of the founding myth of Rome. The legend tells of the twins Romulus and Remus, who were left to die as infants on the banks of the Tiber River. They were discovered and saved by a she-wolf, known as the Luperca, who suckled them and raised them as her own. The Capitoline Wolf, depicted here with her paws protectively around the infants, represents the nurturing and protective forces of nature and the community. This bronze replica, with its intricate details and lifelike expressions, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of ancient Rome and its influences on European civilization. The statue, which was discovered in Merida in the 19th century, is now a cherished symbol of the city's Roman past and a testament to the enduring power of mythology and legend. The Capitoline Wolf and Infants Romulus and Remus have stood the test of time, serving as a reminder of the ancient era and the autonomous communities that shaped Europe's history. This replica, with its weathered patina and worn edges, invites us to imagine the stories and secrets it holds, and to reflect on the enduring power of art and history to inspire and captivate us.
