Capitoline She-wolf, formerly at the Lateran (Sixtus IV donation). The She-wolf is the symbol of the city. Initially, it stood in the fifteenth century facade of the palace, then, it was transferred inside the palace, on the occasion of Michelangelo's architectural interventions. At that time, the twins were added - they transformed the ancient Lateran symbol of justice into "Mater Romanorum".
The creation of the work, which probably had nothing to do with the legend of Rome's foundation, can be traced back to Etruscan or Magna Graecia workshops of the fifth century BC. Recently, based on the casting process analysis, it was suggested that it dates back to the Middle Ages.
