...the famous statue of Romulus and Remus, the mythological Roman twin sons of priestess Rhea Silvia and the God of War Mars. The statue is in the Capitoline Museum in Rome. ...this is also very topical at the moment as they have unearthed a cave believed to be the place of the birth of the twins. See the news

Great shot, I was reading in the news that they think they may have found a cave relating to these two. I love museums, history and mythology are so interesting. A very nice capture Fogz.

Great shot :)
I love mythology and of course I know this one hehe
Indeed they have found an ornately decorated chamber/cave that they believe relates to them.
I was actually watching a program about the myths the other day.

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
What a fearsome beast! The twins are cute cherubs. This is a masterful scupture, beautifully captured. :)

This was always one of my favourite stories as a kid, I didn't know there was a statue. How very descriptive it is - I'm loving your history lessons to Patti. This one makes me wonder if there's a gap in the market - wolf milk capuccino.

Please bear with me if I don't comment as much as I have been - I'm having to scale back. Only until they introduce the 30 hour day of course ;-)

If you have some minutes why don't you come visiting my gallery ?
Sorry, I got so wrapped up reading about the twins (I love Greek and Roman histories and mythologies)that I almost forgot to tell you how much I have enjoyed your post. Nigel's thought on goat milk is a little scary. But I am sure, Starbucks with have it soon! A wonderful picture and a lot of very interesting history to read.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round?? Picture Purrrfect .
A perfect shot, with great light usage. All details show. It surely makes a interesting reading. Our Western part of living in the making here, imagine that...

Thats so funny. I just read about that sculpture - that it is a fake - well, a fake from the middle age, so for us still something special - and here you present it. And it looks good. The best fake you can imagine.
