Product information "Sculpture 'Capitoline she-wolf with Romulus and Remus', art casting"
The 'Lupa Capitolina' is the landmark of Rome and the symbol of power and security - and still symbolises the fascinating history of the Roman Empire. According to legend, the founding fathers of Rome, the twins Romulus and Remus, were abandoned as children and raised by a she-wolf. The she-wolf gave her offspring strength, courage and a fighter's heart. The sculptural group stood on the Capitol as a symbol of power - and was struck by lightning in 65 BC, as Cicero recorded 'marked by the gods'. Original: Bronze, Palazzo dei Conservatori, Rome. 5th century B.C. For the first time as a reasonably priced reduction in impressive quality! Polymer ars mundi museum replica, cast by hand, with hand-bronzed surface. Reduction. Size 30 x 19.5 x 12 cm (w/h/d).
