"Romulus and Remus: The Legendary Twins of Rome" In the heart of Tuscany, within the magnificent Duomo di Sienna, stands a mesmerizing marble work depicting the iconic figures of Romulus and Remus. These legendary twins, born to Rhea Silvia and Mars, were destined for greatness. Traveling back in time to 300 AD in Aldborough Roman Town, Yorkshire, we find ourselves captivated by a remarkable mosaic portraying a she-wolf nursing these infant brothers. This ancient artwork serves as a testament to their mythical upbringing. A riverbank becomes the stage for another masterpiece dating back to ca. 1650-75. An anonymous creator skillfully captures the tender moment when Romulus and Remus suckle at the nurturing teats of their adoptive mother – an awe-inspiring she-wolf. Johannes Meursius and Willem van der Beke transport us further into history with Plate 27: Triumphal arch's elevation adorned with allegorical figures and decorative motifs from 1636. This intricate design pays homage to Rome's founding fathers while showcasing artistic brilliance. Continuing our journey through time, Jacob Neeffs joins forces with Johannes Meursius and Willem van der Beke in Plate 28 from 1636. Together they immortalize Mars on horseback alongside Romulus and Remus accompanied by their loyal wolf companion – an embodiment of strength and resilience. The tale takes a darker turn as we encounter "Remus tue par Romulus, " an engraving that depicts fratricide - one brother slaying another over disputes regarding Rome's future destiny. This haunting image reminds us that even legends have their share of tragedy. Moving forward to Louvre Museum in Paris during the year 1779, we discover a statue representing the mighty Tiber River holding symbols of abundance - an oar symbolizing navigation prowess intertwined with cornucopia, the horn of plenty. This sculpture pays homage to Rome's lifeline.
