The Capitoline Wolf (Latin: Lupa Capitolina) depicts a she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. There is debate about the age of this sculpture, which is housed in the Capitoline Museums. The she-wolf statue was long thought to be an Etruscan work, dating to the 5th century BC based on stylistic features. Recent dating in the 21st century, based on casting techniques, radiocarbon dating of inclusions, and other factors, suggests it dates to the High Middle Ages (11th-12th centuries AD). References to similar works in Rome have been known since ancient times, and the same subject is depicted on many ancient Roman coins. The wolf was a totem of the Sabines and Etruscans, and it is believed that this sculpture was moved to Rome as evidence of the fusion of the Romans and these peoples. Romulus (c. 771 BC - July 5, 717 BC) is the founder of Rome and the first king of the legendary Roman Kingdom, appearing in the founding myth of Rome. He was the twin brother of Remus. Also known as Romulus[1]. Born in Alba Longa as the son of a Latin nobleman, he founded Rome after various adventures, including overthrowing his great-uncle Amulius and restoring his grandfather Numitor to the throne of Alba. As the first king, he established the fundamental concepts of ancient Rome, such as the Senate, the legions (legiones), and the walls of the seven hills. He was also a brave king who conquered other Latin and Sabine cities and enriched the country, but at the same time, he was in conflict with the Senate as a strong-armed king. #TeaCeremony #HangingScroll #CalligraphyAndPaintings #Crafts #TraditionalCrafts #ContemporaryArtists #YasushiMatsui #Illustration #Illustrator #Copperware Thank you for viewing.
