EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from ancient Roman mythology, Romulus and Remus, the legendary twin brothers, are depicted being discovered by Faustulus, the king's shepherd. According to the legendary tale, Romulus and Remus were left to die as infants after being abandoned by their parents, who were either royalty or gods, depending on the version of the story. The twins were then miraculously saved by a she-wolf, who suckled them and raised them as her own. The scene unfolds in a pastoral setting, with Faustulus, a humble shepherd, cradling the infants in his arms, while the protective she-wolf looks on from a distance. The idyllic landscape, with its lush greenery and rolling hills, serves as a stark contrast to the turbulent events that have unfolded. The image captures the moment of discovery, a pivotal turning point in the brothers' lives, as they are about to embark on a journey that will ultimately lead to the founding of the great city of Rome. This image, which is believed to date back to circa 780 BC, is a testament to the enduring power of mythology and the rich history of ancient Rome. The story of Romulus and Remus has been retold for generations, and continues to captivate and inspire people around the world. The image is a reminder of the importance of the past and the role that mythology plays in shaping our understanding of history and our collective cultural heritage. In this timeless image, we see the beauty and complexity of the ancient world, with its gods, heroes, and myths, all coming together to create a narrative that continues to resonate with us today. The image is a treasure trove of historical and cultural significance, and a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling.
