Lupa Romana (Capitoline Wolf) is a bronze sculpture of the legendary she-wolf who famously rescued and nursed the twins Romulus and Remus. Right there when you exit the Forum, if you are not looking up high on your left side as you enter the plaza, you'll miss it.

    The statue is based on the legend of the city of Rome: after the famous Trojan War, the prince of Troy fled to the Italian peninsula and established the city of Alba, which was passed down from generation to generation. Later, a king named Numitole was overthrown by his brother Amrius, and his son was killed, but his daughter, loved by the god of war, gave birth to twins Romulus and Remus, but was put into the basket by Amrius to shame the Tiber River. The brothers were later found and raised by a female wolf, and soon adopted by the shepherds; they grew up killing their enemies, saving their grandfather, and creating a new city. Later, Romulus killed Remus and named the city of Rome by their own name.

    The statue of the Roman bitch is an amazing little statue. It tells the story of a hero in Roman times. It is not desirable to take a long focal lens because it is near the wall. When you go to Capitorio Square, you can see it on the left side of the building in the middle of the square.

    They all said that it was the symbol of the founding of Rome. Although there were many such statues in the streets of Rome, they all copied the works of the Museum of Capitorini. Two suckling teenagers breast-fed under the wolf's belly. Although the sculpture is not very large in size, it has a very high status as a symbol of Rome.

    This is the symbol of Rome and is considered to be made in Etruria. It's worth visiting.

    Inside the Capitorio Museum, rather than at the entrance, the replicas are smaller.
