The foundation of Rome comes with many stories including a long generational saga connected to Aeneas in the aftermath of the Trojan war. But perhaps the most famous and fearful tale is one of fratricide involving the twins Romulus and Remus.

Before Romulus and Remus really got famous, they were just forest kids being raised by a she-wolf.

We salute the she-wolf for doing her best with some energetic youngsters! It’s a tough gig to take on. This illustration captures the vibe perfectly.
