just a correction.

In times of Augustus ..the she-wolfe was standing ALONE as it is Etruscan figure..not Roman..and the kids were added much later..In Renaissance..to make the mythological story of Romulus and Remus brothers a bit more ..appealing! LOL

" She-Wolf of the Capitol (circa 500 bc) is actually an Etruscan sculpture... The bronze statue is the symbol of the city of Rome. .. Romulus and Remus figures were created during the Renaissance, but the wolf is Etruscan..."

How ancient, how secret and how lovely.

...probably buried by Christian Taleban like freaks. The Pope and Cardinals I bet are petrified of what else they will find..

Una belleza, me fascina la civilización romana, nos han dejado un legado, que en la provincia de Lugo (Lucus Augusti)he podido contemplar, y sus gentes son de un encanto muy especial. La dulzura de la lengua gallega en sus mujeres. La ciudad amurallada nos deja fascinados. Creo que ya es hora de que valoremos esta parte de Galicia, por más que yo sea de A Coruña. Invito a conocerla. Mar Teresa
