Ahh, but Romulus killed Remus (a la Cain and Abel). It's interesting this statue shows them together. If it had been the other way around, the place would be "Reme" instead of "Rome." Note the female wolf at the bottom who, according to tradition, suckled them both (& made them brave, strong, etc). I like the image and the way you've structured it: rigorously level and centered. B&W adds to the effect. I hope you bring us more images of Rome like this.
