Romulus and Remus, a photo from Rome, Lazio

Photographer's Note

The founding of Rome can be investigated through archaeology, but traditional stories handed down by the ancient Romans themselves explain the earliest history of their city in terms of legend and myth. The most familiar of these myths, and perhaps the most famous of all Roman myths, is the story of Romulus and Remus, the twins who were suckled by a she-wolf. This story had to be reconciled with a dual tradition, set earlier in time, that had the Trojan refugee Aeneas escape to Italy and found the line of Romans through his son Iulus, the namesake of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

Hi Murray,

The statue is well placed in the frame. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the statue. The cloudy sky deem to be giving darker tints to the colors. Have a nice day.
