Description: The Capitoline Wolf Statue, an iconic bronze sculpture housed in the Capitoline Museums in Rome, depicts a she-wolf suckling the legendary twins Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome. The statue's origins have been the subject of debate, with the wolf itself traditionally dated to the Etruscan period (circa 5th century BCE), while the figures of the twins were added during the Renaissance in the 15th century. This powerful symbol of Rome's mythological beginnings embodies themes of strength, nurturing, and the city's enduring legacy. The statue's evocative imagery continues to captivate and inspire, making it a significant cultural and historical artifact.
