Modern art pieces in Rome, Georgia

Welcome to Capitoline Wolf, a historic landmark located at 601 Broad Street in downtown Rome, Georgia. This remarkable statue, an exact replica of the renowned Etruscan art from the Palazzo dei Conservatori on Ancient Capitoline Hill in Rome, Italy, stands proudly in front of the historic City Hall. The statue depicts the legendary tale of Romulus and Remus, the twin sons of Mars, the god of war, and Rhea Silvia, daughter of King Numitor of Alba Longa. According to myth, the twins were abandoned and cast into the Tiber River, only to be rescued and nurtured by a she-wolf. This iconic image captures the essence of their story, which culminates with Romulus founding the city of Rome after a tragic conflict with his brother.
