I already posted some articles about chariot races and the Circus Maximus, once the most popolar sport of the ancient Romans. I modiefied some pictures to give you a sense of how the valley once used to be. of course I'm not a graphic designer...I hope it gives you a better idea. In the past article, I stressed the importance of the she wolf for the roman citizens. I want to give you an example by posting these wonderful pictures done by Greta, a 5 years old child, in school. The She Wolf feeds Romolus and Remus Romolus saw more birds in the sky, therefore the Gods prefer him and he will be the founder of Rome. (Look at Auspicia for more info) Romulus set the borders of Rome and Remus invaded it. Romulus killed Remus
The She Wolf is the most important and significant among the Roman animals. The myth of Rome’s origin state that a she wolf breast-fed the two abandoned babies Romulus and Remus saving their lives. Romulus, grown adult, was the founder of Rome. The she wolf is therefore associated to Rome foundation, to our sense of identity and has been the symbol of Rome in the past 28 centuries. It seems strange but events that happened millennia ago are current for a Roman citizen, the She Wolf is a symbol with which the Romans identify themselves now. It is the emblem of the city together with the famous S.P.Q.R – the senate and the people of Rome. The symbol of the She Wolf is everywhere: in the garbage cans, in the ribbon for road works, on the Capitol - the seat of the municipality. Of course, the soccer team Roma has the yellow and red roman colors and the she wolf as a symbol. The genuine Romans frequently wear a pendant with the she wolf.
