Capitoline She-Wolf with Romulus and Remus

124
This bronze she-wolf, long thought Etruscan (5th c. BC), may instead date to the medieval period (1021–1153), though debate persists. The twins, added in the 15th c. by Antonio del Pollaiuolo, evoke Rome’s mythic founders. The work endures as an emblem of Rome’s origins, linking ancient legend, medieval craft, and Renaissance reinterpretation.
